Blockade activist boats arrive in Gaza
Two boats carrying 44 pro-Palestinian activists from Cyprus arrived in the Gaza Strip after Israel allowed them through despite its strict blockade of the Hamas-ruled territory.
The boats set sail yesterday carrying activists from 17 countries, including Israel, who hoped to draw attention to the blockade of Gaza which has been ruled by the Islamist Hamas movement since June 2007.
Israel had initially warned the activists to stay away from Gaza's coastal waters but later allowed them to pass, hours after the crew said their communications systems had been jammed as they sailed through stormy waters.
