He stated that the convoy attracted attention of the international community to the humanitarian situation of Gaza and added “              We had numerous difficulties during the 26-day long journey but no one lost the hope. Despite all difficulties we managed to enter Gaza and deliver donations entrusted to us.” 

Noah’s Ark

IHH President noted a fleet of aid ships to be named Noah’s Ark would depart from Turkey in April 2010 to break Gaza embargo.

“We are planning to go to Gaza with a fleet of 20 ships to be set up in an international organization probably in April 2010. Our aid ships will continue to head for Gaza until Israeli embargo is lifted. The cargo ships will carry Israeli-embargoed building materials, generators, medication, medical equipment and educational materials. The passenger ships to accompany the cargo ships will carry journalists, human rights advocates, activists and lawmakers from various countries,” Yıldırım said.

The IHH is planning to take part in the convoy with five ships. Support of charitable businessmen of Turkey is sought to purchase ships.
