Sheik Khalid from the mosque in Galway is advising all his congregation to support the march.

People of all religions and none are all welcome.

The Viva Palestina Convoy of 250 vehicles, 500 people from 20 different countries are still stuck in the Port of Aqaba in Jordan as the Egyptians will not let them enter Egypt! 15 members of the convoy started a hunger strike yesterday, more are to join them today. Please pass this on to your friends and family we need as many people as possible in this Peace march to show our solidarity with the children and families in Gaza who are still suffering one year later with nothing but broken promises!

Any suggestions or ideas welcome.
