An activist on board the Handala, a ship carrying aid to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade, says the crew are preparing themselves for the possibility of Israeli forces storming the vessel.
Jacob Berger, an actor from the US, made the comments to Al Jazeera from on board the Handala, which set sail from Gallipoli, Italy, on Sunday. The ship is currently off the coast of Egypt in international waters on its route to Gaza.
The Handala’s live location tracker shows it is nearing the area where the Madleen — the previous vessel dispatched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition — was intercepted by Israel.
