Activist Yasemin Acar: Reception in Berlin after a Gaza ship stop!

acar, which is considered controversial and is known to the police, accused Israel of kidnapping the occupation members of the “Madleen” in international waters. She announced that she would not give up and wants to return to stop the siege. The reception was chaotic: a large crowd surrounded, a man lifted her on his shoulder briefly. Acar looked stressed and overwhelmed by the large number of people. The police estimated the number of participants on a low three -digit range, which illustrates how emotionally invited the event was.

Humanitarian mission of the "Madleen"

The ship "Madleen" is part of a mission organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) to break the blockade of Gaza and provide humanitarian aid. The ship had stored and transported important relief supplies, including baby food, flour, rice, diapers, hygiene products for women, water relaxation systems, medical care, walking aids and children's prostheses on June 1st. Yasemin Acar made it clear that the ship has no weapons on board and is traveling alone for humanitarian aid.

Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz has now given the command to prevent the “Madleen” from reaching Gaza. The Israeli Navy is preparing to intercept the humanitarian ship and plan to violently redirect it to the port of Ashdod. Acar warned that an attack on the ship would be seen as a war crime, which further exacerbates the international dimension of the conflict.

The dramatic humanitarian Situation

The situation in the region is tragic. According to Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe, the violence and the ongoing terrorist attacks by Hamas have demanded thousands of lives in Israel, Gaza and the Palestinian areas. There is an acute lack of medical products, medication, clean water and food, which dramatically exacerbates the humanitarian situation. Support is provided in the affected areas in accordance with humanitarian principles, whereby the help is neutral and distributed to the measure of need.

The continuing violence has led to the violence of Hamas. Humanitarian aid is not only provided in the Palestinian areas, but also in Lebanon and Israel together with local partners to help the needy and relieve the consequences of the conflict. The developments around the “Madleen” are thus directly related to the underlying crisis situation and the continuing conflicts in the region.
