TOLERANCE AND SOLIDARITY .<\/p>\n

A news release from Right to a Just Future for Palestine<\/a><\/p>\n

In the past 15 weeks, more than 130 Palestinians in Gaza have been executed by Israeli snipers, more than 4,000 have been wounded and 15,000 injured with tear gas. At least 43 people have had their legs amputated due to the types of bullets the Israeli Occupation Forces are using and hundreds more will have long-term debilitating injuries from these bullets. The\u00a0medical\u00a0system in Gaza is overwhelmed and urgently needs\u00a0medical\u00a0supplies.<\/p>\n

TAlthough the Freedom Flotilla Coalition continues to see our mission\u2019s goal as political solidarity rather than charity or aid, the need for\u00a0medical\u00a0supplies\u00a0in Gaza is too urgent to ignore. As a result, our Right to a Just Future for Palestine flotilla that is on its way to Gaza will carry as many\u00a0medical\u00a0supplies\u00a0as our four boats can safely hold.\u00a0These are\u00a0medical\u00a0supplies\u00a0that have been specifically requested\u00a0by Palestinian\u00a0medical\u00a0authorities in Gaza \u2013 all of them are in short supply due to the blockade.<\/p>\n

Presenting the Palestinian side of the Middle East, Is it important for a culture of peace?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

(Article continued from the left column)<\/p>\n

We demand that the Israeli government does not interfere with our boats as they approach, dock and unload in Gaza, in order to deliver the\u00a0 medical\u00a0 supplies\u00a0 directly to hospitals in Gaza City, less than one 1.6 km from the Gaza City harbour. Whatever happens to our boats, we hold the Israeli government accountable for the safe reception of these life-saving\u00a0supplies\u00a0by Palestinian\u00a0medical\u00a0authorities in Gaza.<\/p>\n

As an occupying state that has placed a land, air and sea blockade on Gaza, international law mandates that Israel must allow\u00a0medical\u00a0supplies\u00a0into Gaza.\u00a0The Freedom Flotilla Coalition and its worldwide allies, including those in Israel, will keep the international community and governments informed of any delays in delivering these critical\u00a0medical\u00a0supplies\u00a0to Gaza.<\/p>\n

People anywhere who wish to contribute to towards the cost of these medical supplies can make donations through any one of our campaigns<\/a>, designating your donation \u201cMedical supplies for Gaza.\u201d We will use your donations to purchase medical supplies close to our last port of call, Palermo (please do not send us medical supplies though as we do not have the capacity to move additional items to our departure point). Together, we can help end the illegal blockade of Gaza.<\/p>\n
