Six New Zealanders who were part of a convoy that delivered $7 million worth of supplies to the Gaza Strip have arrived home.
About 400 volunteers from 30 countries bypassed Israel's blockade of the area earlier this month, delivering medicine, vehicles, petrol and education supplies.
The convoy of 150 vehicles entered the Hamas-controlled area through Egypt's Rafah Gate, the only land border not controlled by the Israeli military.
The Kia Ora Gaza team was welcomed at Auckland Airport on Sunday by more than 50 cheering supporters waving banners.
The team's captain, Roger Fowler, says the team plans to help in more aid convoys in the future.
