The 44 protestors on board were greeted by a crowd of around 2,000 people waving Palestinian flags. The activists, from 17 countries including Israel, sailed to Gaza from Cyprus to bring humanitarian aid, in an action designed to raise awareness of the impact on Palestinians of Israel's blockade. Israel gave permission for the vessels to dock, after earlier hinting it would turn them back. Israel has embargoed the territory since Hamas militants took control of Gaza in a power struggle with rivals Fatah last year.
