Source: Times of Israel
Pro-Palestinian activists on three-vessel convoy say cargo includes solar panels, medical supplies; expect to leave unnamed Mediterranean port in coming week
flotilla comprised of three vessels carrying pro-Palestinian activists will set sail from a Mediterranean port over the coming days and will head for the Gaza Strip in a bid to break the Israeli- and Egyptian-imposed blockade on the Palestinian enclave.
The activists say the vessels are carrying a cargo of solar panels and medical supplies for Gaza residents, who are still recovering from last summer’s Operation Protective Edge, and expect to reach the Strip by the end of the month, unless they are intercepted.
Organizers would not provide specific details about the whereabouts of the vessels, dubbed Freedom Flotilla III, nor the date they were expected to set off, but indicated it would be sometime over the next few days.
