Ship to Gaza Kick-off Göteborg

Ship to Gaza Kick-off Göteborg

Welcome to Ship to Gaza`s kick off meeting in Gothenburg:
Sunday 17th of May at 1 pm in Folkets hus, Järntorget.

To everyone who supports democracy and justice in the world!
The Gaza Strip has been called ”the biggest outdoor prison in the world”. After the war in the winter of 2009 the region is largely in ruins. The need for assistance is immense, the isolation is almost total. The inhabitants of Gaza are sealed off from the world.
Ship to Gaza is an initiative for practical solidarity with the people of Gaza. As soon as it is economically and practically possible we intend to send a ship with necessities from Scandinavia via ports in Europe and the Mediterranean to Gaza.
In the ports visited by the ship, cultural and public opinion events will be arranged together with local organizations. In Gaza the reception and distribution of the aid will be administered by politically unaffiliated organizations.

Ship to Gaza interprets the humanitarian emergency in Gaza as being created by political action. Ship to Gaza is unaffiliated with political and religious organizations. It is a non-profit association which wishes to promote increased respect for human rights and international law. Ship to Gaza is a non-profit and peaceful action from person to person.
Many people around the world has already shown a overwhelming interest in partaking in Ship to Gaza. Do you also want to contribute to this peaceful action of solidarity?
Come and join us at our kick off meeting Sunday 17th of May at 1 pm in Folkets hus, Järntorget. You are needed!
Welcome on board!
