Following rumours about delays, flotilla organisers meeting in Paris have officially announced that Freedom Flotilla II - 'Stay Human' will be leaving towards the end of June. Turkish charity IHH announced last week that it would be sending a 1,000 ton ship to join June's flotilla aid mission to break the siege. See the press statement at GazaTVNews.
The international steering committee of Freedom Flotilla II just concluded its planning meeting in Paris, a few weeks before the scheduled departure of the flotilla to Gaza.
Freedom Flotilla II will leave during the third week of June, with ships departing from various European ports including Marseilles. We"re very pleased to announce the recent addition of a Swiss-German boat to the flotilla. In July 2010 Germany"s Bundestag passed a resolution calling for an end to the Israeli blockade of Gaza.
A number of our respective governments have said the same. The UN Human Rights Committee Fact Finding Mission into the 2010 flotilla attack found Israeli"s blockade on Gaza to be unlawful. The International Committee of the Red Cross has said that Israel must end its illegal closure of Gaza. more
