We, at Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, believe that the efforts to break the blockade, flotilla and ships of humanitarian aid is not the appropriate solution to end this unjust and oppressive blockade and may not substitute for enabling the Palestinians to have their human rights. This effort which is entirely based on pure humanitarian considerations is an expression of solidarity, as well as a reflection of international public opinion in rejection of the practices of the occupation, and policies of imposing starvation on humans and disrespect of international humanitarian law, all human values, and it is a practice of aggression and violation of human rights.
The vessel ( HOPE ) will sail from the Greek port of LAVRIO loaded with food stuffs and medications amounting to two thousand tons of cargo and will be on its way to Gaza, with a number of supporters on board who decided to participate in display of their support and solidarity with the people of Gaza and their plight under siege.
Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, while aware of the tragic situation in which the people of the Palestinians Gaza and the surrounding areas live since the imposition of the Israeli unjust siege is also aware that the situation has deteriorated after the aggression, and since the Foundation estimates the hard conditions the residents of Gaza strip are living under after they lost their homes due to the destruction of Gaza by the occupation forces which still insist on preventing so many kind of materials, in particular cement and iron for construction.
Living and health conditions of the people of Gaza are deteriorating, especially during winter, and because the efforts to convince the occupation authorities to allow the building materials to enter to Gaza failed to achieve any result, but instead the occupation authorities attacked the ships of the FREEDOM flotilla. This indicates that the situation will see more dangerous and more tragic developments. Therefore,
the situation there is an urgent need to intervene in a humanitarian way to reduce the suffering of the people of Gaza. In this respect, the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, fully realizes s the dimensions of this tragedy and the size of the existing human challenge and the possibility to deteriorate .Given our responsibilities we announce our initiative to fund and make available prefabricated houses for the Palestinians families living without shelter that maintains human dignity.
The Foundation launches this initiative and announces that it will provide what it can for the realization of this initiative, reaffirms that these houses can not replace the reconstruction of Gaza, and it hopes the international community and the humanitarian organizations will respond and mobilize resources and capacities in order to realize the initiative practically and to bring as much as housing units to Gaza in order to reduce the human suffering.
We hope that the international community will move at all its levels to take the morale and human responsibilities in a collective coordinated work that will respond to the existing human needs, before the situation escalates and reaches the level of a human catastrophe during the coming winter.
We call upon the international community to adopt, support and participate in this initiative which can contribute and can face the existing challenge in a time the concerned parties will find no excuse to reject it what ever the reasons are.
The Foundation is conducting all relevant contacts in order to launch the initiative practically and wishes that countries and humanitarian organizations will join it in an effort that reflects human solidarity and the embodiment of the shared values.
