UK Convoy to Syria
Another convoy of ambulances is on its way from the UK to Syria overland. It comes after vehicles taken on previous trips were struck inside the country - and after the death of British Dr Abbas Khan in a Syrian prison. Those on the trip say they know the dangers are severe - since they left the UK the border crossing that they usually use between Turkey and Syria is also reported to have been hit. Dr Shameela Islam-Zulfiqar, travelling with British charity Al-Fatiha, spoke to BBC Asian Network's Catrin Nye on Christmas eve as the convoy continued its journey overland.
