Sailing a boat to Gaza

Sailing a boat to Gaza or challenging Israel's claim that they no longer occupy Gaza.

For the second anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza, Greta Berlin, a 66 years old businesswoman from Los Angeles, USA, is one of the many people organizing an unusual project: sailing to Gaza. The idea which sprang last October is a political as well as humanitarian decision - Greta Berlin says.

The journey will begin in Alexandria or Cyprus toward the end of this summer. 50 to 80 of men and women, many over 50, will embark on a boat called FREE GAZA. Their mission states:" We tried to enter Palestine by ground. We tried to enter by air. Now we are going to go by sea."
