Mohamed Elhaddad had a great send-off from Bristol last Friday to join the Viva Palestimna convoy to Gaza.. Even the Evening Post covered it – see http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/news/Dad-joins-mercy-mis....html.

At the time of writing, the convoy is in Fes, Morocco. You can check it's current location at http://www.vivapalestina.org/.
