Just before the Gaza ceasefire was announced, the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, a convoy of civilian boats carrying aid and solidarity, was raided by Israeli forces in international waters.
In this episode of Falastin, Jehan Alfarra speaks to David Heap, a long-time member and organiser of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, about the status of the most recent mission to Gaza and the flotilla effort as a whole.
Heap is a Canadian academic and activist who has spent years working to challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza, a blockade now entering its 18th year.
