Ewa Jasiewicz - Free Gaza convoy

author Thursday May 27, 2010 11:14author by IMEMC Staff Report post

The largest aid convoy to date is currently en route to Gaza to break the Israeli siege. The convoy includes nine ships, ten thousand tons of aid and eight hundred people from fifty countries.

The ships are currently in the Mediterranean Sea, and plan to arrive in Gaza later this week.

Israeli officials have vowed to stop the aid convoy with force, and have deployed naval warships along the coast of Gaza.

As the eight hundred activists on board the ships prepare for a standoff with the Israeli navy, we go to Jenka Soderberg, who spoke with one of the organizers of the Free Gaza humanitarian aid convoy.
