Israel Readies Prison for Passengers Aboard Free Gaza Aid Flotilla

HeadlineMay 28, 2010

A flotilla of nine aid ships is approaching the Gaza Strip through the Mediterranean Sea in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade and deliver over 10,000 tons of humanitarian goods. Israel has vowed to block the fleet and has prepared a prison for the over 750 passengers aboard the vessels. Organized by the Free Gaza Movement, the flotilla is the largest to attempt to breach the Gaza blockade since Israel imposed it three years ago. Israel has forcefully stopped at least three other Free Gaza sailings since January 2009.
