Asia’s Gaza Solidarity Convoy Reaches SE Iran

Asia's first humanitarian aid convoy carrying relief material for the Hamas-ruled and besieged Gaza Strip has arrived in Iran's southeastern city of Kerman.

The Asian People's Solidarity for Palestine (APSP) convoy, which plans to travel through Iran before heading to Turkey, arrived in Kerman on Friday. The alliance of people's organizations, social movements, trade unions and civil society institutions of Asia, has joined forces in a struggle for peace, freedom and human dignity.

They stand united against occupation, imperialism, apartheid, Zionism and all forms of discrimination, including religious discrimination, the group says.

The convoy will pass through a number of other Asian countries before entering Gaza on December 27, which marks the second anniversary of the Israeli offensive against the people of Gaza at the turn of 2009
