Why the flotilla is considered the better option than sending humanitarian aid by land?
At present, the chances to enter Gaza by sea is actually greater in the sense that the total coastal stretch of Gaza is 44km meaning according to International law, any vessel actually has the right to enter Gaza within the 44km coast of Gaza compared to the entry to Gaza by land which is only through a 20meters wide entrance gate at Rafah border which is heavily guarded by the Egyptian Authorities. In addition, certainly the vessels and ships can transfer more goods into Gaza compared to by any other land transport. Though, the humanitarian personnel on Mavi Marmara were denied entry into Gaza, finally most of the goods on board the vessels made its way into Gaza such as large quantity of education materials and some construction materials such as cement.
