Gaza flotilla: MV Rachel Corrie heads for Israel coast
International activists pledged Tuesday to try to break the Israeli barrier of Gaza Strip with another ship carrying caring aid, a day after an Israeli naval blockade of the first six ship convoy left nine people dead and many injured.
MV Rachel Corrie, who was a part of the original Freedom Flotilla intercept by the Israeli military, leaving nine activists dead, arrives in Gaza to 08:00 Saturday, organizer said today.
The ships went down behind the original fleet after having routine problems, but have sailed against Israeli coast since yesterday.
Turkey - one of Israel's closest ally Muslim before the Monday clashes left several people dead - was last night reported to be bearing in mind sending a naval base for escort vessels.
This will be in the region at the end of the week, creating a potential flash point for a major conflict sandwiched between nations.
Today, Israel bowed to world weight and began deporting the activist who was seized in Monday's failed raid.
