Pro-Palestinian activism
According to the available information, the idea was the first to propose Egyptian academicics and the engineer who currently lives in Japan. He pointed out that the food delivery is marine through the most perfect method, given the Israeli blockade of Gaza.
In posting on Facebook, he explained that a hermetically closed plastic canister of 25 liters can be filled with about 6 to 8 kilograms of food, with an air space of approximately 8 liters so that the bottle could float.
He added that bottles should be played at least four kilometers from the coast, at an angle of 60 degrees to the northeast, in order to avoid opining.
“Surface sea currents in the eastern Mediterranje move from the west to east, at speeds of up to 0.8 km / h, which means that the containers can reach the banks of Gaza within 72 to 96 hours such as Damiette or east of Port Said”, standing in publication.
