Morocco and Algeria have opened the border that was closed for almost 15 years for an aid convoy heading towards the Gaza Strip.
The border between Morocco and Algeria
was closed in 1994 after Morocco accused Algeria of involvement in an attack on a hotel in Marrakech.
The
countries have opened the border to allow a 99 vehicles, which left from the UK loaded with medicine, food, clothes and toys, crossed into Algeria near the Moroccan town of Oujda.
The convoy is scheduled to enter Gaza from Egypt in early March. It is being led by British member of parliament George Galloway. Its 5,000-mile route also includes France, Spain, Tunisia, and Libya.
