The event, called 'Freedom Waves for Gaza', unites 27 activists from 9
countries, including America, Canada, Denmark, Belgium, Germany and
Australia, alongside Palestinians from Bethlehem and Haifa, in a
broad-based international movement to break Israel's illegal and immoral
suffocation of the 1.6 million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip. The Irish
yacht Saoirse (Freedom), which carries 15 activists, and the Canadian
boat Tahrir (Liberation), which holds 12, will attempt to carry $30,000
in medical supplies beyond the Israeli blockade later this week.
'Freedom Waves for Gaza' is the 11th attempt by international activists
to deliver humanitarian aid through the Israeli blockade of Gaza since
2008.
