An aid convoy carrying food and medical supplies for the besieged Palestinians has arrived in the Gaza Strip.

The Asia to Gaza Solidarity Caravan, (Asia 1) entered the coastal territory through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt on Monday, Press TV reported.
Some 160 human rights activists took part in the land-and-sea voyage but 105 activists could cross into the Gaza Strip from Egypt.
The convoy had travelled 7,000 kilometers, but was stuck in Latikia, in the northwest of Syria, for more than a week awaiting Egypt's permission.
The aid convoy started its journey in the Indian capital, New Delhi. It had passed through Iran, Turkey, Lebanon and Syria to reach Egypt and finally the Gaza Strip.
The activists say they want to display solidarity with the Palestinian people in their resistance against Israel.
Tel Aviv has been enforcing an all-out land, aerial and naval blockade on the 1.5 million Palestinians in the enclave since mid-June 2007.
The embargo persists while Gaza is far from recovering from the December 2008-January 2009 Israeli war that claimed the lives of over 1,400 Palestinians, inflicting a damage of above $1.6 billion on the enclave's economy.
The convoy's $1m (760,000 euros) worth of cargo was due to arrive separately by boat later, organizers said.
Egypt refused visas to some Iranian and Jordanian activists travelling with the convoy, which left India on December 2, BBC reported.
Activists had planned to reach the Gaza Strip by December 27, the second anniversary of Israel's 22-day Cast Lead offensive on the people of Gaza.
