June 10 "convoy demonstration" postponed

Transfer of medicines/money for medicines to go through as planned

DONATIONS STILL VERY WELCOME

The June 10 "convoy demonstration" of a coalition of peace groups at Nablus checkpoint had to be postponed, but the transfer of medicines/money for medicines will go through as planned.

As the Palestinian schools are busy holding examinations this month, our Palestinian partners requested to postpone the demonstration part - to avoid a possible curfew punishment on the nearby villages.
