UNI Europa Youth condemns the attack on the Gaza helping convoys

A fleet consisting of passenger and freight vessels headed towards Gaza to bring goods to the reconstruction of Gaza after the war in 2008/2009. A large array of European volunteer-organizations and parliamentarians were aboard the vessels, which brought with them medicine, construction materials and cement to name but a few.

The Israeli Defence Forces attacked the convoy in international waters to stop the vessels from reaching Gaza. During the attack several unarmed civilians were killed.

UNI Europa Youth strongly condemns the attack on the convoy and the loss of innocent lives, and send our condolances to the involved families.

UNI Europa Youth demands

· an international investigation of the attack, lead by the United Nations

· an end to the blockade of Gaza

· an end to the illegal occupation

· an international weapons boycott of Israel and Palestine
