Twenty-one human rights and solidarity workers, representing eleven different countries, set sail from Cyprus Monday morning for the Gaza Strip in yet another attempt to break the Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory, the Free Gaza Group announced.
The small ferry "Spirit of Humanity" is carrying three tons of medical aid, children's toys, and rehabilitation and reconstruction kits for 20 family homes. It was expected to reach Gaza on Tuesday afternoon.
Passengers on board include former US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maquire.
=====================================
Going to be interesting to see what happens this time around. The last one was an expensive mistake for the boat owner.
