Processing time

The border between Morocco and Algeria was opened especially for us. It has been closed for the best part of 20 years because of a dispute between the countries over Western Sahara. It was opened only twice: both times for essentially this group of volunteers en route to Gaza with humanitarian aid. (The first time was under the guise of Viva Palestina, and the second time, as Road to Hope.)

Naturally, there's a bit of a wait — this is unusual paperwork!
