About the 2013 Convoy
The convoy entered Gaza from Egypt via the Rafah Border in early July. Most members stayed for our two week programme; others stayed longer and completed independent projects.
Convoy members comprised of journalists (citizen, independent and commercial), photographers, filmmakers, media students, activists and mental health professionals — from diverse backgrounds, all of them are people of conscience, deeply passionate about the Palestinian cause.
One of the main goals of the convoy is to produce English-language media content to help amplify the Palestinan narrative to audiences in the most complicit Israel-supporting Western states from where most of the convoy members originate.
The convoy organising team comprises of Palestinan and international volunteers living in Gaza. A programme of transport, accommodation, and work is arranged for convoy members.
