A humanitarian aid flotilla organized by a coalition of activists, which was scheduled to set sail from Turkey on Friday to deliver supplies to Gaza, has been postponed. Known as the Freedom Flotilla, its departure has been delayed due to an administrative roadblock initiated by Israel, which sought additional inspections, the coalition said. Organizers said Israel was trying to prevent the ships from leaving by pressuring the Republic of Guinea Bissau to withdraw its flag from the lead ship — Akdeniz.
