      “Free Gaza” Boat Sets Sail from Cyprus to Gaza



      A boat carrying peace activists and medical supplies left Cyprus Monday for Gaza. A representative of the Arion vessel carrying 30 “Free Gaza” activists and 15 doctors stated that it would attempt to run the Israeli blockade on Gaza’s coast.

      A boat that attempted to arrive in Gaza with what they claim contained medical supplies was badly damaged by the Israeli navy on December 30.

      Israel has imposed a blockade on the Gaza coast to prevent the Hamas terrorist organization from stocking up on weapons.
