On Wednesday February 18 in the afternoon trucks of the second Convoy for Peace arrived in Gaza.

 

 

So it was 30 pallets of covers, warm clothes and specific supplies for the children who could be distributed by the Christian parish of Gaza. This action allowed to bring a material support to 16.000 children, innocent victims of the conflict.
