The Free Gaza Movement reported that its supporters in the United States have decided to organize sending an aid plane to the Gaza Strip in order to deliver humanitarian supplies and challenge "Israel's" illegal siege on the coastal region.

According to the Maan news agency, Dr. Paul Larudee, co-founder of the Free Gaza Movement a San Francisco Bay Area activist in the United States said that the plan is to send an aid plane to Gaza to challenge "Israel's" blockade by air.

He also said that the Authorities in the Gaza Strip support the idea and are working on a landing site for the plane that will likely have to use "Israeli" or Egyptian airspace.

Dr. Larudee added that the plane will not be able to land at the Yasser Arafat International Airport as it was repeatedly shelled and bulldozed by "Israel".

He also said that the movement is seeking a plane that has the capability to land and fly in and from areas that lack the required facilities, adding that the effort poses no threat to "Israel" or Egypt as it is a humanitarian mission. 


The movement is seeking to send a small plane in the spring of 2011.
