Palestine aid mission tales from Swansea media team

Advance notice of a Swansea event which will help mark a remarkable journey by redoubtable members of the area's media community.
Ingrid Bousquet and D Murphy, of alternative video news team Undercurrents, drove to troubled Gaza with colleague Janet Hussein last year.

They joined a convoy taking humanitarian aid to the Middle East. It was a colourful expedition.
The trio are members of Swansea Palestine Community Link, which campaigns for justice for Palestine, and on Wednesday, February 24, from 7.30pm they're due to host a free-entry Swansea to Gaza slideshow at the city's Dylan Thomas Centre.
Also, elements of A Fistful of Poetry, a new book by Glais-based Richard Jones dedicated to the people of Palestine, will be performed by Helen Griffin and Joe Furlong.
Phil Broadhurst will present a short reading of his Swansea-Palestine blog Stories of Hope and Inspiration.
A Community Link stall will sell Fairtrade Palestinian products.
D said: ‘The people of Gaza are lacking most of the basic necessities so our convoy carried critical medical, maternity and post-natal supplies, as well as much needed materials for schools."
As well as delivering aid, the convoy raised awareness about the siege of Gaza.
It's a great cause and the February 24 event merits the support of anyone interested in the Swansea media and the plight of Palestine.
