- Six South African activists were held for six days in Israel after their flotilla carrying aid to Gaza was intercepted.
- They described harsh treatment and the daily humiliation faced by Palestinians under the ongoing siege.
- The group called on international governments to take concrete steps to secure the release of detained activists.
- Plans are underway to organize a second flotilla to continue delivering humanitarian aid and challenge the blockade.
I feel disappointed because I don’t feel we accomplished the mission, because we were kidnapped before we could do so and one of the things that will stay forever with me is the image of the Palestinian children — the people in Gaza waiting hopeful that we would arrive and then we didn’t.— Zukiswa Wanner, a journalist and novelist, spoke to the Mail & Guardian on the sidelines of the press conference.
