We will be joined en-route by convoys from Europe, Turkey and Jordan, and be met in Syria by convoys from Kuwait and Morocco. Hundreds of vehicles and people from around the world will then attempt to break Israel's siege on Gaza together.   PSC vehicles were on the last Viva Palestina convoy that broke the siege in January 2010, and we were on the Mavi Marmara, and thanks to you, PSC is once again part of the international effort to end Israel's medieval and inhuman siege.   There's still time to donate towards the PSC vehicle and aid.   You can send a cheque (made payable to PSC) to PSC, BOX BM PSA, London, WC1N 3XX. (Please write 'For Gaza aid convoy' on the back of the cheque) To donate by phone, call the office on 020 7700 6192.   Convoy send off: Leaves for Gaza this Saturday   Wave goodbye to the convoy at 8.30am on the north side of the Embankment east of the Palace of Westminster and Portcullis House.
