More than seventeen-hundred colorful bouquets will be distributed today and tomorrow to each and every family in the Gush Katif region, from Dugit in the north of Gaza to Morag at the very southern end of Gush Katif.
The nice idea of sending the flowers originated with some people in Norway, true friends of Gush Katif, who in cooperation with the Gaza Region Development Fund decided to send flowers in order to lift the spirits of the region’s inhabitants.
The bouquets are being distributed by the youth in Gush Katif, who are taking part in this project together with the Gush Katif Struggle Committee.

The residents of Gush Katif through the katif.net website wish to send their thanks to all people who understand and admire the settlers of Gush Katif for their brave stand over the years. They are especially grateful to the Norwegian Friends of the Gaza Region, who thought up and carried out this beautiful idea of sending such charming flower bouquets to the people of Gush Katif.
