Free Gaza Movement to Send More Boats with Aid to Gaza
------------------------------------------------------



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.”
