Britain 2 Gaza Flotilla to sail in May

Ship to sail to Gaza in May Palestine Solidarity Campaign, March 11, 2011



Departing in May, the first anniversary of the attack by Israeli commandos on the Mavi Marmara that left 9 people dead and over 50 injured, a boat will sail, carrying a contingent from Britain, to the besieged people of Gaza.



Britain 2 Gaza will be joining with similar initiatives from over 20 other countries to bring together the largest seaborne mission to break the siege on Gaza. The support for the mission is already wider than for the first flotilla of six ships last year.



The Britain 2 Gaza mission is being brought together by 5 British campaign groups; Friends of Al Aqsa, the British Muslim Initiative, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition and the Palestinian Forum of Britain.



The campaign for a siege-breaking ship from Britain comes at a time when Israel's blockade of Gaza is already under sustained pressure. British Prime Minister David Cameron has described Gaza as an "open-air prison camp". EU foreign affairs chief, Catherine Ashton, also called for the lifting of the siege.



Further details of the Britain 2 Gaza mission will be released shortly.
