YEMEN CONDEMNS ISRAELI MASSACRE ONBOARD GAZA-BOUND AID CONVOY



SANA'A, May 31 (Saba) – Yemen condemned on Monday the Israeli raid
on Gaza-bound ships that killed, according to reports, more than 10
pro-Palestinian activists onboard while on their way to deliver aid
for Gazans who have been under Israeli blockade for almost four
years.

Many others were reported wounded.

The ship convoy was attacked in a pre-dawn raid when Israeli troops
dropped from a helicopter to ship decks causing the tragedy that has
drawn international condemnation.

The aid boats, organized by pro-Palestinian groups, left European
ports on Sunday to deliver food and other aid to the people in the
Gaza strip under blockade since 2007.
