Mission

 http://vik2gaza.org/mission.html

We will enter Gaza on May 15th - one month after Vittorio Arrigoni's murder and on Nakba memorial day – by passing through the Rafah crossing.

* We intend to:
* Make clear to all that nothing can stop international solidarity with the Palestinian people.
* Reinforce and carry on Vittorio's work, producing independent information, together with Palestinian men and women, from within beseiged Gaza
* Support Palestinian popular and youth movements resisting Israeli occupation.
* State loud and clear what Vittorio always said – Stay human!

DATES AND COSTS

DATES:
We aim to be at the Rafah crossing on May 12th. Departure from Gaza is scheduled for May 16-17. We plan to meet in Cairo on May 11th. Departure time from Cairo will be defined in the next few days. We are also checking the possibility of going to Rafah directly from Sharm el Sheikh, for those who may prefer that option.


COSTS:
The cost for necessary documents, transport, room and board, to be assumed by each participant, is currently estimated at about 250\, with the aim of reducing this amount going forward. The cost of transport to Cairo from your country of residence is not included in this amount.
