Gaza HOPE CONVOY #3 FRIDAY 22 MAY

Third update for today and most likely the last one as everything in falling into place now and things are moving very quickly. The cargo will be removed and the convoy loaded up over night along with any inspections carried out by the Egyptians.

The convoy members will be picked up at 6 AM (sorry now it's more like 9:30 or so) and taken to the convoy vehicles where they will be escorted to the Rafah border, no stopping in Al Arish, just directly to the border. They should arrive by around 9:30 AM Egypt time at the border. Then of course they must go through the security and passport inspection, which can be fast or slow as there is a line of people constantly trying to get in, then into Gaza after that.

So, it appears that the convoy will enter Gaza tomorrow definitely, GREAT NEWS!!

I will post the developments when I get them and hope to have photos to post as well throughout the time in Gaza.

Hello Peter!!

I think my friend Gerry has met your friends:) I hope to have some photos sent to me tomorrow from the convoy. I have set up a flickr account where they will be uploaded and when they arrive I will post them.

Yes, lets' hpe they get in quickly tomorrow, but it is looking like it will be late tomorrow night when they get in, or maybe even Saturday morning now.
