Here is an excerpt from http://www.palrelief.org/:
Plans are being finalised for the next Flotilla and we are raising money to contribute to the aid being sent as well as sending a contingent from Australia to be a part of it. They will join activists from at least 14 countries. We have partnered with a Canadian organisation (http://canadaboatgaza.org/) and our boat named 'Tahrir' meaning "Liberation' in Arabic will carry approximately 50 passengers and crew.
Generous people have already given nearly $30,000, but we still need to raise $12,000 more to get our Australian contingent over the line. All money raised will go solely towards the costs of a boat, crew and humanitarian aid including fuel, equipment etc. Please help us achieve our target now. Here’s how you can make a donation:
Please donate what you can. It is up to us to break this siege. We cannot rely on governments or the UN any longer.
