Asia 1 Aid Convoy Arrives in Gaza

Some of the 100 activists with the "Asia 1" aid convoy hold portraits of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (R) and the Islamic republic's late founder, Ayatollah Khomenei, as they cross into the southern Gaza Strip through the Rafah border with Egypt, early on January 3, 2011. Aid cargo is expected to arrive in Gaza later in the day, after traveling separately from Syria to Egypt by boat. UPI/Ismael Mohamad
