ImageGaza / PNN – After more than a year of devastating Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip Osama Kashoua told the newspaper ‘Al Quds Al Arabia’ that a group of activists is heading to Gaza via sea.

There will be 45 people on the boat purchased with donated funds raised for the project entitled “Freedom for Gaza.”

Among the boaters will be five journalists; one each from the London papers the Guardian and the Independent, Sky News, Al Jazeera and Al Arabia.

The remaining 40 are to include members of the European Parliament, several artists and a Jewish woman who survived the Holocaust during World War II.

Also in the group is former Princeton University professor Richard Falk, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Palestine who investigates Israeli violations of human rights law.

They expect to arrive on the Gaza Strip’s Mediterranean coast in August.
