Aid ship 'Rachel Corrie' on way to Gaza

An aid ship carrying cargo to Gaza is determined to finish its journey despite the naval blockade and expects to reach the point where Israeli commandos raided a flotilla later this week, a crew member said.

The MV Rachel Corrie, a converted merchant ship bought by pro-Palestinian activists and named after an American woman killed in the Gaza Strip in 2003, set off on Monday from Malta. (Reuters)
