A flotilla of 4 cargo and 4 passenger ships is preparing to converge in the mediterranean this weekend to break Israel's blockade on Gaza.
The 'Freedom Flotilla' will carry 700 passengers from over 20 countries,
some 10,000 tons of cement, medical and reconstruction equipment, and
prefabricated houses to Gaza.
The flotilla is being organised by the Turkish humanitarian and relief
organisation Insani Yardim Vakafi (IHH), the European Campaign to End
the Siege on Gaza, the Greek and Swedish Ship to Gaza Initaitives, and
the Free Gaza Movement.
Israel says it has prepared half of its' navy to stop the boats, as well
as a warehouse to jail everyone in Ashdod or Haifa.
Flotilla participants plan to resist any attempt to sieze their vessels and there is a flotilla-wide policy of not stopping.
