February 14th 2009. Following the devastating assault on Gaza by Israeli fast jets, artillery and foot soldiers during December 2008 and January 2009 - which resulted in the deaths of some 1,400 Palestinians and 4 Israelis - a convoy of 150 vehicles and 250 activists assembled in London to embark upon a 5000 mile journey by road through Europe and north Africa to Gaza, carrying aid, and led by British MP George Galloway.

These pictures document the journey from its beginning to its end.
