I have grown up reading tales from the Arabian Nights and conjuring up wild fantasies of the desert and its people

Traveling to gaza

Swara Bhaskar





So, when I got the chance to travel to the Gaza Strip using the land route recently, I grabbed the opportunity and joined the First Asian Solidarity Caravan.



Touring Gaza via India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Syria, and Egypt to show political solidarity for Palestine was a wonderful experience.

Along with activists, students and trade unions from 13 Asian countries, I became part of a convoy carrying one million dollars worth of medical aid to the besieged Gaza Strip. I'll cherish this experience throughout my life!
