The Norwegian activist in Gaza found UN report condemning Israel's raid in May encouraging. Now, they plan a new aid campaign.

-The report justifies our work. It is a real encouragement because we are planning to send a new Norwegian ship with humanitarian aid to Gaza, "said Espen Goffeng to NRK.

Goffeng remarked that they are in the middle of planning and raising money for a new Norwegian ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. He explained their goal as buying a boat that takes both cargo and passengers.

A Clear Condemnation

The UN report about the israeli attack on the civilian aid ship was issued yesterday. UN Human Rights Council reported that Israel broke international law and human rights when it attacked a convoy of emergency aid to Gaza in May. "The campaign showed an unacceptable level of brutality. Such conduct can not be justified or defended by the need for security or any other reasons, "says the UN report.
