A boat carrying 27 pro-Palestinian activists has arrived in Gaza despite an Israeli blockade of the territory - the second such voyage in three months
As the vessel arrived in stormy weather, organiser Huwaida Arraf said: "Once again we've been able to defy an unjust and illegal policy while the rest of the world is too intimidated to do anything.

"Our small boat is a huge cry to the international community to follow in our footsteps and open a lifeline to the people of Gaza."

Israel imposed a blockade on Gaza in June 2007 when the militant group Hamas took control of the territory by force.
