"Women's Boat to Gaza" Sets Sail in Efforts to Break Israeli Blockade
---------------------------------------------------------------------

A flotilla bound for Gaza has set sail from the Spanish port city of
Barcelona in efforts to break the ongoing Israeli blockade. Twenty-two
female activists from across the world are aboard the Women's Boat to
Gaza. The two boats are also carrying medicine and food. Israel has
maintained a blockade of the Gaza Strip since 2007. Last year, another
Women's Boat to Gaza was stopped and seized by the Israeli Navy.
