Jerusalem (ANTARA News/AFP) - Two ships carrying medical aid and activists have set sail from Turkey in a new bid to to break Israel`s blockade of the Gaza Strip, pro-Palestinian activists said on Wednesday.

A statement issued by the Freedom Waves group said the mini-flotilla made up of one Irish ship and one Canadian ship had left Fethiye on Turkey`s south coast on Wednesday afternoon and planned to arrive in Gaza on Friday. (*)
