YORK to GAZA by AMBULANCE

Professor the Baroness Afshar cut the ribbon on the ex-NHS ambulance at a ceremony to launch the appeal on Saturday 14th November at 11am outside St Michael le Belfry, next to York Minster.


The Yorkshire ambulance, with its team of volunteers from York, Scarborough, Norton & Gilling East, will be joining an international convoy organised by Viva Palestina taking supplies to the siege ridden people of Gaza who are still suffering a blockade lasting over 2 years to date, with access to essential food and medical supplies severely curtailed by the government of Israel.




Nicholas Hall, of Fulford York, has volunteered to drive to Gaza. He says " It is nearly 12 months since Israel's cruel and criminal attack on Gaza which killed over 1,400 men, women & children - destroying 8,000 homes and countless schools and businesses - the world's governments have so far failed to bring Israel to task for their actions, leaving it up to us - ordinary people working together to bring hope and relief to the siege ridden Gazan people.



The York ambulance together with thirteen vehicles from Bradford will set off in early December with plans to arrive in Gaza soon after Christmas.
