    Dear Mr. Straw,

    According to the Jewish Chronicle you are meeting today with representatives of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Jewish Leadership Council and, separately, Labour Friends of Israel.

    Today at mid-afternoon convoy vehicles; cars, vans, trucks, buses and ambulances, were finally driven en-masse to the port where they were loaded onto the Turkish vessel Ulusoy-6.

    Today the convoy left Damascus and headed for Latakia. Being at the front of the convoy we were greeted at the central roundabout by a welcoming procession including a big band and numerous well-wishers who lined the streets waving flags and shouting their support.

    By Zulaikha Abdullah
