The head of a major Turkish NGO, IHH has insisted that Israel should increase its compensation for the deaths of some of its members during an aid mission to Gaza in 2010. Bulent Yildirim, head of IHH, said: “Israel will pay compensation, but in higher amounts.” He added, “It apologised. I hope the blockade and embargo [of Gaza] will be removed. Without consent of families of those who were killed, these cases will not be removed.” He said that the charity will not change its mind about its demands for compensation for the deaths of nine Turks when Israeli soldiers boarded their ship, the Mavi Marmara, which was carrying aid to Gaza.
