Gaza Boat YT Part 1 by Haim Bresheeth

Gaza Blockade Broken, by Haim Bresheeth

On December 9th, 2008, the small boat "dignity' managed to break the sea bloackade by the Israeli navy, and land at the Gaza port with a number of activists from across the globe, as well as medicines and medical supplies.

On the boat were two members of BRICUP (British Committee for Universities in Palestine), Prof. Jonathan Rosenhead and Mr. Mike Cushman, both from the London School of Economics, who left with the intention of helping some of the many Gazan students who are denied exit by the illegal action of the Israeli army, to be taken out and assisted in arriving at their chosen universities abroad.

We have spoken to them in London, few days after their return.
