Dear Friends,<br>
<br>
On the 3rd commemoration of Israel's lawless and brutal attack
on the Freedom Flotilla in 2010, Gaza's Ark and the Freedom
Flotilla Coalition have not and will not give up efforts to
challenge and end the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza.<br>

This is a photo of the fishing trawler, ad-Dahoul, that we
recently purchased from Palestinian fishers. We have now
started to transform it into Gaza's Ark - a cargo vessel to
export Palestinian products from the port of Gaza, Palestine.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Due to the
unprofitable nature of the fishing industry in Gaza under the
blockade, the boats available to purchase were all quite run
down as a result of lack of maintenance. This is a consequence
of the meager profits of fishing within the 3 mile Israeli
imposed limit and the risk of boats being attacked and stolen by
the Israeli Navy.<br>
<br>
Despite this, ad-Dahoul, from now on: Gaza's Ark, is of sound
body and engine. We witnessed the boat salvaging a fully
submerged 12 meter long fishing boat from the harbor.<br>

coming weeks for updates and step by step progress as we
convert and prepare Gaza's Ark for sailing.<br>

<i><b> Please remember that this progress will only be possible
with your generous donations: </b></i><i><b><a href="http://www.gazaark.org/donate" target="_blank">www.gazaark.org/donate</a></b></i><br>

Gaza's Ark not only challenges the blockade, it helps empower
the Palestinian people, encourages export and productivity and
actively supports the marine industry in Gaza. For more details
