An estimated Twenty-seven ships to set sail for Gaza from multiple ports to break Israel’s siege on the enclave.

This will be activist Greta Thunberg’s second mission, having been taken captive by Israel earlier this year when her ship and fellow crew members were sprayed with illicit chemicals and boarded unlawfully in international waters. The Handala and her crew also suffered a similar fate earlier this summer.
