Free Gaza Movement to Send More Boats with Aid to Gaza

HeadlineJan 13, 2009

Activists with the Free Gaza Movement are vowing to try again to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza by sea. Yesterday, a Free Gaza boat had to return to Cyprus after it suffered a mechanical failure.

Free Gaza activist Huwaida Arraf: “We can’t wait 'til Israel decides to stop the killing and then open up Gaza for the international community and aid workers to come pick up the pieces. No, we must insist on the right to enter. And so, in that sense, we're not going to let the violence that Israel used against us or what they might use against us again stop us.”
