European campaign: New flotilla to Gaza in second half of July

STRASBOURG, — The European campaign to end the siege on Gaza has declared intention to send another aid flotilla to Gaza Strip in July.

Mazen Kuhail, a spokesman for the campaign, told a press conference held in the European parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday that six ships are ready for leaving Europe en route to the besieged enclave.

“We believe that this second flotilla will be more important than the first one,” he elaborated.

The campaign along with other organizations supportive of ending the siege on Gaza had sent a “Freedom Flotilla” to Gaza last month that was attacked by the Israeli naval forces and blocked from reaching the Gaza shores after 9 activists on board were killed and tens others injured.

Kuhail was invited by a British labor member of parliament to address the press conference.

He asked the world to inspect the aid shipment to be loaded on the second flotilla.
