The coalition describe Its mission as “peaceful act of civil resistance”, aimed at delivering supplies to the inhabitants of Gaza, in particular preparations for babies, layers, health products for women, water desalination kits, medical supplies, crutches and prostheses for children.
The organizers said on Sunday afternoon that they were “about 160 naval miles from Gaza”. The ship can be followed online.
