Volunteers will load last construction supplies denied entry into Gaza onto Free Gaza’s Irish cargo ship.

Freedom Flotilla participants will christen the Irish cargo ship, the MV Rachel Corrie. A bottle of Palestinian olive oil will be smashed against the ship as a celebration of Palestinian land rights, and international solidarity for justice and peace.

High profile Irish supporters and Freedom Flotilla partners IHH (Turkish human rights organisation), European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza (ECESG), The Perdana Global Peace Organisation from Malaysia, and the Greek and Irish Ship to Gaza campaigns will join Free Gaza organizers to send the Rachel Corrie off to Gaza.
