George Galloway in Ottawa
Join a fundraiser for humanitarian aid to Afghanistan and Palestine on the eve of international protests against NATO, the war in Afghanistan, and western intervention in the Middle East.
British MP George Galloway recently led a massive aid caravan to Gaza, following Israel's 22-day war. Starting in London, England, the caravan drove over 10,000 km through eight countries in Europe and North Africa, before passing through the Rafah border crossing in Egypt on March 10, 2009. The caravan stretched more than two kilometers and was comprised of over 300 volunteers in 100 vehicles including five ambulances, a fire truck and a boat. Over $1.1 million in aid was delivered to the people of Gaza. For more on the Viva Palestina aid campaign and George Galloway visit www.vivapalestina.org and www.georgegalloway.com.
