    Gaza’s Ark Attacked

     

    GA attackedGaza City - Gaza

    At 3:45 AM Gaza time on April 29th, the night guard on board Gaza's Ark
    received a call to leave the boat because it was going to be attacked.

    The guard left, but when nothing happened, he returned after 5 minutes. A few
    minutes later, a large explosion rocked the boat causing extensive damage.

    The boat sank part way and is now sitting on the shallow sea floor. The guard
    was not injured but was taken to hospital for tests.

    Mahfouz Kabariti, Gaza’s Ark Project Manager, says: “The extent and nature of
    the damage are currently being investigated. We will provide an update when
    available.”

    "Gaza’s Ark and all our partners in the Freedom Flotilla Coalition are
    considering our next move in response to this cowardly act of terrorism, but
    our position remains clear: Neither this nor any other attack will stop our
    efforts to challenge the blockade of Gaza until it ends," adds David Heap of
    Gaza's Ark Steering Committee.


    "Freedom Flotilla boats have been sabotaged before. This attack comes as we
    were almost ready to sail. You can sink a boat but you can't sink a movement,"
    concludes Ehab Lotayef, another member of the Steering Committee.
