Palestinians: Leftist boats didn't bring enough food
Palestinian disappointment™: A Gaza activist told Ynet Saturday that local residents were disappointed by the small quantities of food brought in by two boats carrying international leftist activists.
"Many people thought these boats will make a significant contribution to break the siege, not only politically but also in terms of brining in goods, equipment, food, and medicine," he said. "However, once it turned out these boats contain too little food and mostly activistsÂ…some people left the beach disappointed."
Yeah, but they brought lots of anti Zionist balloons "for the children"... |
Dozens of pro-Palestinian activists from 17 countries toured the Gaza Strip on Sunday after their two fishing boats were allowed in despite an Israeli naval blockade of the Hamas-ruled territory. Mostly American and British, they include Lauren Booth, sister-in-law of former British premier Tony Blair who is now an international Middle East peace envoy. They also include Jeff Halper, an Israeli Jewish activist. The boats made the 370-kilometre voyage from Larnaca port on Cyprus's south coast and carried 200 hearing aids for Gaza children and 5,000 balloons. The activists plan to stay in Gaza for 10 days and visit hospitals, universities and refugee camps before sailing back to Cyprus aboard the two boats, according to the organisers.
