Freedom Flotilla's "Handala" departs Italy for Gaza, carrying aid to challenge Israel's blockade.

The Freedom Flotilla's ship "Handala" has departed from Italy, aiming to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel's blockade. Carrying around fifteen activists and supplies like medical aid and food, the ship is set to reach Gaza in about a week. This mission follows a similar attempt in June where another vessel was intercepted by Israeli forces. The Handala will also stop in Turkey to pick up two French lawmakers.
