The Gaza-bound aid ship, Handala, set sail from the southern Italian port of Gallipoli on July 20, in a bid to break Israel’s longstanding blockade on the besieged Palestinian enclave.
Carrying medical supplies, food and aid equipment for Palestinian children, the ship’s departure was originally scheduled for July 18 but was delayed due to technical and logistical reasons.
The mission follows the Madleen voyage in June, which was intercepted by Israeli naval forces before it could reach Gaza.
