Organizers: Lebanese ship to sail for Gaza Sunday
None
The organizers of a Lebanese ship aiming to break Israel's Gaza blockade say they plan set sail from Lebanon on Sunday. Samar al-Hajj says the ship, the Mariam, named after the Virgin Mary, will be carrying medicine for the seaside strip. Al-Hajj said all the passengers will be women activists.
Israeli officials have warned Beirut not to allow the boat to sail. Al-Hajj said Lebanon's president, prime minister and parliament speaker refused to meet with her, which appeared to signal the government's lack of support for the venture. (AP)
