A Call from Gaza in support of the Freedom Flotilla As the freedom flotilla makes its final preparations to set sail a call comes from Gaza to remind the world of the devastating situation Palestinians face under siege. The opening of the Rafah crossing is yet to be fully enacted and although it has allowed some movement of people, it will do little for the import and export of even the most basic goods as well as the materials needed to rebuild vital infrastructure. Israel's inhumane blockade remains very much in tact, denying they people of Gaza their most basic human rights. Almost every week an expert report is released stating the cold hard facts of the situation on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank. A UN report released this week shows that half of Gaza's workforce is unemployed. "We the Palestinians of the besieged Gaza Strip, on this day, five years after closures began on Gaza, are saying enough inaction, enough discussion, enough waiting – the full siege on the GazaStrip must end."   Read the full statement here For more information and to pledge your support in response to the call from Gaza, visit www.britain2gaza.org Building peace and justice for Jerusalem Wednesday 29th June 6.30–8.30pm, Central London   Join us for the launch of a new campaign for the future of this great city   Speakers include: Hind Khoury, Sabeel, Jerusalem; Jeremy Corbyn MP; Lord Alf Dubs; Yasmin Qureshi MP; Richard Burden MP, Chair of the All Party Britain-Palestine group; Diana Neslen, Jews for Justice for Palestinians; Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the Islamic movement in Israel; Ismail Patel, Friends of Al Aqsa; Ben White, journalist and author; Sarah Colborne, PSC   RSVP essential - please email sara.apps@palestinecampaign.org      "East Jerusalem: Six Voices"   "East Jerusalem: Six Voices" is the result of an innovative collaboration between B'Tselem and The Guardian newspaper, in which five Palestinians and two Israelis created personal video diaries about the human rights' reality in East Jerusalem.
