Break the Cycle of Death

The Freedom Flotilla Madleen is now in Egypt as it attempts to break the Israeli maritime blockade to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Freedom Flotilla Madleen updates

One of the 12 activists on board the Madleen has posted an update on their progress, saying the mission would not be deterred by Israel’s threats to block them.
