The “Steadfastness 2” land convoy, organised in support of the Gaza Strip, has deployed in Libya and is currently stationed in the Judaym Forest area west of Tripoli after entering Libyan territory two days ago.
According to the Algerian Popular Coordination for the Support of Palestine, all Algerian participants in the convoy have arrived at the designated assembly point after travelling through Tunisia.
In a statement, the coordination body said the Algerian convoy began its journey from multiple provinces across Algeria on 8th May before crossing Tunisia and reaching Libya.
The organisation expressed hope that the convoy would continue safely towards the Rafah Crossing in order to deliver humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza.
The organisers called on the governments involved to ensure the convoy’s security and diplomatic protection and appealed to the people of Libya and Egypt to facilitate its passage.
They also urged international human rights groups, journalists, unions and solidarity movements to monitor and support the mission.
The convoy includes doctors, engineers, academics, journalists, human rights activists and political figures. Organisers described the initiative as a humanitarian effort aimed at breaking the siege imposed on Gaza and delivering food and medical aid.
