The Free Gaza mercy ship, SPIRIT OF HUMANITY, departed from Larnaka, Cyprus on 14th January in the morning on an emergency mission to besieged Gaza. Aboard the unarmed ship are desperately needed medical supplies and 21 passengers and crew, including doctors, human rights workers, journalists, and two parliamentarians from Spain and Italy.
The Free Gaza Movement say they received word from the ship at 3:15am UST / 1:15am GMT that the ship is surrounded by Israeli Naval gunboats. The warships are demanding SPIRIT OF HUMANITY return to Cyprus. It looks like Israel does not want the humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. However the Free Gaza Movement say they are insisting they will proceed to Gaza in order to complete their peaceful mission.
Reports say Israel has not yet attacked the unarmed ship, however they have requested everybody immediately call the Israeli government using the undermentioned numbers to demand that Israel stop threatening the SPIRIT OF HUMANITY!
