Overland to Syria

Catrin Nye follows the British Muslims risking their lives to hand deliver aid to the heart of the fighting in Syria.

Syria has been in a state of civil war for two and a half years and the UN estimates that more than 100,000 people have been killed. Aid organisations say that parts of the country are so dangerous that civilians are being left without help, 22 Red Cross volunteers alone have been killed. Despite these dangers small British aid convoys are making the journey overland to Syria in second-hand ambulances packed with aid. BBC reporter Catrin Nye travelled with a group of British Muslims on one of these convoys, taking more risks than most.
