Freedom Flotilla With Aid to Gaza Continues to Prepare for Departure – Foundation
ISTANBUL, (Sputnik) - Organizers of the new Freedom Flotilla with humanitarian shipment for the Gaza Strip continue preparations for its upcoming departure despite reports of talks between Turkiye and Israel to change the route, Turkish humanitarian relief foundation IHH told Sputnik.
On Sunday, Israeli news portal Ynet reported that Israeli and Turkish authorities were allegedly discussing sending the Freedom Flotilla to the Gaza Strip via Egypt to prevent a repeat of the events of 2010, when Israeli commandos intercepted a ship of the flotilla after it tried to breach the Gaza blockade, which resulted in deaths of 10 Turkish nationals.
"Preparations for the departure of the flotilla are proceeding as usual," the foundation said.
The flotilla is scheduled to depart after April 24, IHH added.
The foundation previously did not rule out possible problems with the flotilla's attempts to reach Gaza, but added that there would be no security on the ships. Activists from some 60 countries, as well as journalists, will take part in the trip.
