UN experts have called on Israel to allow the New Freedom Flotilla’s ships to bring their much-needed relief to residents of the besieged Gaza Strip.

A flotilla of ships bound for the Gaza Strip is expected to depart from Turkey in the coming days in an attempt to breach Israel's naval blockade and to draw attention to the limited aid reaching Palestinians in the besieged enclave.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition will soon be back to sailing in order to break the illegal, immoral and inhuman siege of Gaza.

A dozen pro-Palestine activists arrested by Israeli forces on board a Gaza-bound ship remain in the custody of the regime for the second day.

Israeli forces have seized a second boat carrying a relief cargo to the besieged Gaza Strip.

Oslo urges Israel to explain the legal grounds on which it seized a Norwegian-flagged boat taking humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip.

The vessel intended to break Israel’s nearly 12-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.
