<p style="font-size:10pt;">LONDON, (PIC)&#8211; The European Road to  Hope aid convoy destined for the besieged Gaza Strip is getting prepared  to sail once again for the port of Al-Arish before the Egyptian  authorities close the Rafah border crossing for six day as of next  Monday.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">A Libyan participant in the convoy said  the activists stranded at the Egyptian-Libyan borders will take a new  cargo ship called Nuweiba during the next few hours in an attempt to  cross into Gaza with the aid after the previous ship they were aboard  was hijacked by its own Greek captain who sailed it to Greece before he  fled in a small boat.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Nine participants in the convoy and four  Libyan customs officers, as well as a small part of the aid which was  not unloaded at Libyan ports were still on board the ship when it was  hijacked.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Libyan officers are currently in their  embassy in Greece and the nine activists, five Brits, two Americans,  and two from Morocco and Algeria, will fly to Libya to join the other  participants in the convoy before they sail together along with the aid  for Al-Arish seaport.</p>
<p>105 multinational activists have stayed at  the Egyptian-Libyan borders since October 25 waiting to be allowed into  Egypt by land, but the Egyptian authorities insisted the aid convoy  enter Gaza by sea, and what added insult to injury that the ship they  were hired was hijacked and taken to Greece.</p>
