The fifth Viva Palestina convoy is on its way; passing through Paris and Lyon, before being welcomed by the Mayor in the city of Valux-en-Velin - the only city in France to fly the Palestinian flag.

You can follow the progress of the convoy at the Viva Palestina website, where there is a video interview with convoy leader Kevin Ovenden.
