"Humanity" boat leaves Larnaca on Monday heading to Gaza
[ 12/01/2009 - 10:23 AM ]
NICOSIA, (PIC)-- The Palestinian international campaign to lift the siege on Gaza Strip said that the Free Gaza movement is organizing a new sea voyage that would set sail from the Cypriot port of Larnaca to the Strip on Monday in a fresh solidarity mission with the people of Gaza.
The campaign said in a statement that the "Humanity" boat would carry with it a number of European MPs, doctors, human rights activists and journalists along with medicines, medical supplies and humanitarian aid.
It added that doctors would head to hospitals immediately on arrival to Gaza to help in treating the wounded in the ongoing Israeli savage onslaught on the beleaguered Strip.
The campaign recalled that the Israeli occupation forces' navy boats had deliberately hit the "Dignity" boat on 30/12/2008 when it was trying to reach Gaza endangering the lives of all those on board and forcing it to change its route and head to the Lebanese coasts.
It pointed to the importance of the sea voyage in the light of the "catastrophic conditions" in the Strip as a result of the "savage massacres" committed by the IOF troops against Palestinian civilians.
It charged the Israeli occupation authority with violating all international doctrines and treaties through targeting civilians and civil institutions in a way tantamount to "war crimes".
The campaign finally held the IOA fully responsible for the lives of all those on board the "Humanity" boat and the safety of the boat.

Larnaca in Cyprus could be described as the resort with everything. It’s a major municipality,a town and a holiday resort all rolled into one. It’s also home to the Islands main airport and and boast a great selection of shops too. Add to that a pretty marina along with Cyprus’s main port and Larnaca certainly appears to have plenty to offer holiday makers and residents alike.
