Just thought I'd send out a quick update.
We weren't able to cross into Egypt from Aqaba, and so have had to drive back up to Syria. We're staying in the Palestinian refugee camp in the port town of Lattakia. We've been here the past 3 days. The Palestinians here have been incredible. So hospitable, taking many of us in, giving us beds in their homes, feeding us, letting us shower in their houses and even insisting on washing our clothes!
Said goodbye to our aid vehicles yesterday. They have to be shipped to Egypt separately. Everyone is a bit anxious. We will hopefully be meeting them again in Egypt soon. The first batch of 150 people are being flown to Egypt tomorrow 4am.
Hopefully we'll all be allowed into Gaza with all the medical and educational aid.

I hope you're all well and had a great Christmas and new year!
If you have time to call / email the Egyptians to ask them to allow us safe passage to Gaza, that would be great.
Lots of Love,
