Gaza Strip, (Pal Telegraph) - The European campaign to end the siege on Gaza Strip (ECESG)  appealed the international community to provide protection for  the upcoming Freedom Flotilla 2, which is expected to sail in late June to Gaza Strip.

The campaign said in a press release that the Israeli threats to attack the flotilla is considered a violation to the international laws and conventions.

The campaign added that Israel in the last week  opened fire at the Malaysian aid ship, which was sailing in the international territorial water, indicating that Israeli government will also attack participants of the next flotilla.

As occurred last year, Israel illegally assaulted the peaceful international activists on the board of the Freedom Flotilla 1 in an event described as a massacre, leaving nine Turks killed and several injured.

The campaign confirmed that the European humanitarian ships are preparing to sail toward the besieged Gaza strip in an attempt to ease restrictions imposed by Israel for more than five years.

Pointing out that the campaign will prepare the names of the participants who will meet at the port of Genoa, in the north-west of Italy passing through the Italian coast toward Gaza Strip.

In the same context, a French ship will lunch from the port of Marseille at the end of June to join the Freedom Flotilla 2 heading to Gaza Strip.
