Editor's Note: The farmers, providing food for the people of Gaza while under gunfire and those foreigners serving as human shields to protect them obviously deserve the world's utmost respect. - LMB


 

As a Libyan backed aid ship sails for the Gaza Strip, another group of international activists has been defying the blockade, but this time on the land.

Foreigners acting as human shields have been helping farmers in Gaza harvest their crops.

Palestinian farmers, thus, risk being shot for working their fields.
