Lewisham Peace Justice Solidarity is holding a fundraining event for Gaza
from 2pm until 11pm on Saturday 18th September at the Cafe Crema (306 New
Cross Road, New Cross, London SE14 6AF; buses 21, 36, 53, 136, 171, 172,
177, 225, 321, 436, 453, P13; trains and underground New Cross and New Cross
Gate).
The next aid convoy and flotilla is leaving shortly to break the Israeli
siege of Gaza, which has now lasted for 4 years. In the middle of the siege
the world witnessed the bombardment of Gaza when 1400 people were killed,
thousands injured and the Gazan economy crushed still further with the
destruction of factories, farms, schools as well as homes, Mosques and
hospitals. The impact of these attacks continues in terms of physical and
mental well being of the Palestinian people trapped in Gaza. Despite the
brutal attack on the international flotilla in May this year when 9 were
killed, more than 30 injured and all 650 peace activists arrested, people
from across the world are planning further convoys to break the siege of
Gaza. Let the people of Gaza know they are not forgotten, come to this event
and enjoy yourself at the same time.
The event will have:
food and drink (afternoon and evening)
childrens events (afternoon) - face painting, origami, mural painting,
magician
films (afternoon)
