VIVA PALESTINA CONVOY LOCAL MEETING IN WILLESDEN GREEN LIBRARY

Last month PSC helped organise the Viva Palestina international aid convoy. The Convoy succeeded in breaking the illegal siege on Gaza and delivered vital medicine and humanitarian aid to the besieged people of Gaza.

Come and hear first hand accounts from Sam Rias, Joti Brar, Umaima Maguz and Mary Edwards who travelled with the Viva Palestina humanitarian aid convoy to Gaza in December 2009 - January 2010 with slides from convoy .

‘’Gaza is a prison and Israel seems to have thrown away the key’’ –United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, John Dugard

‘’Much of the destruction was wanton and deliberate, and was carried out in a manner and circumstances which indicated that it could not be justified on grounds of military necessity’’
– Amnesty International

‘’My message to the International Community is that our silence and complicity, especially on the situation in Gaza, shames us all.’’–Archbishop Desmond Tutu

‘’the killing of civilians appears to have been the direct objective of the Israeli military’’ and that ‘’the operation was in furtherance of an overall policy aimed at punishing the Gaza population for its resilience and for its apparent support for Hamas.’’–Goldstone Report
