However Ubadah not retreat. He spoke with some friends in Germany, Egypt and others and they suggested that Ubadah send these drugs to Cairo. From there might be sent to one of the contacts to continue to Gaza, via several relatives.

Ubadah depart from his house at around 12 am to the capital Oslo and arriving 6:30 am. Then get on a plane from Oslo to Frankfurt Germany, then another plane to Cairo. From there he went through the journey overland to Gaza. Ubadah decided to give this drug alone to the family of the dying boy that was sick.
