A new flotilla to Gaza in April will attempt to break the 18-year Israeli blockade. It is expected to involve over 3,000 activists from 100 countries on 100 boats, including a medical fleet of 1,000 health care workers to deliver 500 tons of life-saving aid. chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-flotil...
