Ahlul Bayt News Agency - Essam Yousif, chairman of Miles of Smiles convoys, said in a press release issued Tuesday that activists of Miles of Smiles decided to join Freedom Flotilla III and to reach Gaza in few weeks.
The activists include Parliamentary personalities, former ministers, artists, businessmen, and academics from Arab, Muslim, and European countries, he pointed out.
“Israeli authorities would not succeed in preventing those international activists from carrying out their humanitarian duty towards the two million Palestinians living under siege and poverty in the Gaza Strip for more than eight years, during which they witnessed three devastating assaults, resulted in thousands of martyrs and injured people and tens of thousands of destroyed buildings.”
Youssef said that Freedom Flotilla III and the ongoing international efforts came in the context of exposing Israeli violations to international laws.
"Mariana has already started its trip to break the siege of Gaza as part of Freedom Flotilla III," he continued.
Chairman of Miles of Smiles convoys concluded his statement by stressing the urgent need to lift the siege on Gaza as it totally violates all international laws and norms.
