A flotilla carrying humanitarian aid and activists, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, left the port of Barcelona on Sunday to try to "break the illegal siege of Gaza", organisers said. Previous attempts by activists to deliver aid to the enclave by ship have failed, but a French left-wing MEP onboard hopes this larger fleet has a greater chance of success.
Dozens of vessels set off from the Spanish port city with hundreds of people aboard, including delegations from some 44 countries.
