Gaza aid organizer hopes his ship will reach Gaza
None
The organizer of a Libyan charity ship bound for Gaza says it's still en route to the Palestinian territory despite reports it would divert to a nearby Egyptian port.
Youssef Sawani, executive director of Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation, which mounted the aid operation, says the ship has 70 hours to reach Gaza. He says the Moldovan-flagged Amalthea is currently near the Greek island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea. Sawani says they don't "want to cause any provocation" with Israel and only wants to reach Gaza to deliver 2,000 tons of food and medical supplies. (AP)
