"An Irish delegation will join, departing between today and Thursday from Mediterranean ports in an attempt to break Israel's siege and deliver aid to Palestinians being indiscriminately bombed and starved."
An Irish volunteer joins the Global Sumud Flotilla to attempt to break the siege on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid. The first boats are setting sail from Mediterranean ports between today and Thursday, and an Irish delegation is included among them. The mission aims to challenge Israel's blockade and convey supplies to Palestinians described as being indiscriminately bombed and starved. Frustration with the Government's response to the violence motivates participation, with inspiration drawn from the Dunnes Stores anti-apartheid protesters. Volunteers will board vessels to directly deliver aid and increase international attention on the humanitarian crisis.
