Madleen ship launched by Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) is en route towards Gaza carrying humanitarian aid and human rights activists protesting against Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza. More than 90 percent of the enclave’s 2.3 million people are facing acute food shortages, according to aid groups. The 2,000km (1,250-mile) journey is expected to take seven days. Fifteen years ago, Israeli commandos carried out a deadly attack on Mavi Marmara. The so-called Gaza Freedom Flotilla had set out from Istanbul in an attempt to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza. Nine humanitarian volunteers were killed on May 31, 2010. Gaza has been under an Israeli land, sea and air blockade since 2007. The Madleen is carrying supplies urgently needed by people in Gaza. 1.95 million people – 93 percent of the enclave’s population – are facing acute food shortages.
