Convoy update: 24th January 2009 "The UN has said it will cost billions to rebuild Gaza. "This is something that aid agencies alone cannot do. "We need to meet the immediate needs of people, to provide them with food, water, shelter, medicine and blankets." It is at just this time that the BBC is refusing to broadcast an appeal for aid by the 13-strong group of charities that makes up Disasters Emergency Relief. Hunge numbers of people have called the BBC to complain and we urge you to do so on 03700 100 222. So outrageous is the BBC's position that even government ministers are calling on them to reconsider. Pressure now can make a difference - Tony Benn, George Galloway and others were to hand in a letter and lead a protest at the BBC organised by the Stop the War Coalition today. The BBC's ban on aid tells us everything about the massacre of the Palestinians people in Gaza. It is not some natural disaster. It is politically driven mass murder. That's why the convoy has two purposes. First to contribute to the aid effort that the BBC among others is trying to block. But secondly, it is to smash the propaganda blockade of Gaza. It is to raise the banner from London to Egypt of freedom for the Palestinian people. We want to create the permanent political pressure needed in Britain to shake the establishment from its pro-Israel bias. People in Gaza understand that and are telling us so as they hear of our undertaking. Please help make it a success. We now have 21 confirmed vehicles and help coming in from as far afield as Australia and Florida
