Gaza-Bound Ship Takes on Food, Activists Off Greek Coast
[An Nahar] A sailing ship with pro-Paleostinian activists that is planning to break an Israeli blockade of Gazoo took on food and passengers off the southern Greek coast, a front man said Wednesday.The Estelle, which first set off from Sweden and left Naples in Italia on October 6, stopped in international waters off the island of Crete Tuesday afternoon, where it loaded up with food and passengers. The ship then continued its journey with five politicians on board -- one from Sweden, one from Spain, two Greeks and a Norwegian, the front man for the Ship to Gazoo Sweden movement, Mikael Loefgren, told Agence La Belle France Presse by telephone. Thirty doves that are to be freed when the boat arrives in Gazoo were also on board. "They will now sail to Gazoo. It's hard to say when they get there given the type of unpredictable sea we have now in the eastern Mediterranean," said Loefgren. He expected the Estelle to arrive in Gazoo around Saturday.
