2. Freedom Flotilla II Update The Ship to Gaza

The Irish Ship to Gaza Campaign, of which IAWM is a part, is to resume fundraising in the new year for an Irish ship to sail to Gaza in the spring of 2011.

The central committee of the 20-ship-strong Flotilla II met in Rome in early December to confirm the postponement of the mission to Spring 2011. The flotilla had been due to sail in October 2010 but after interest from new groups to join the mission, it was decided that the trip would be postponed to allow new joiners to organize their ships in time.

A larger fleet of ships will have a greater chance of breaking the Israeli-imposed siege on Gaza and succeed in bringing aid into the territory.

Alliance spokesman and European Campaign to Break the Gaza Siege member Mohammed Hanoun said the Freedom Flotilla coalition will invite media to the ports shortly before the flotilla moves on its way to monitor the ships’ cargo to make clear that the fleet is on a humanitarian task.

IAWM will be organizing fundraising events in the coming months to help in the purchase of an Irish ship, so keep a look out for those events either by visiting www.irishantiwar.org or www.irishshiptogaza.org.
