Two boats with a total of forty peace activists from the Free Gaza Movement will be setting sail from Cyprus for Gaza later in the week, with an aim to break the Israeli siege and tell the people there that the world has not forgotten them.
The boats are on their way to Cyprus to pick up the activists, including Israelis, and are carrying nothing more dangerous than 5,000 balloons that say “Free Palestine“ on them.
Speaking at a press conference in Nicosia, confounder of the Free Gaza Movement Greta Berlin said the initiative began two years ago with an aim to cultivate awareness about the situation in Gaza and that this was the first attempt to approach Gaza.
