Irish writer Naoise Dolan has joined a second flotilla aiming to bring aid to Gaza after the vessel she was due to sail on as part of the Global Sumud Flottila had to cancel. ­Sources like The Lancet medical journal ­suggest a true death toll significantly higher,” Dolan writes. Earlier this month, two vessels with the Global Sumud Flotilla were struck by incendiary devices - believed to be drones - while they were anchored off Sidu Bou Said port in Tunisia. The incidents were designed “to intimidate rather than cause harm,” she told The Irish Independent. Genoese dockworkers have warned they will block all shipments to Israel from Europe if communication with the humanitarian aid flotilla currently bound for Gaza is lost.
