Aid ship to Gaza blocked
A Libyan ship trying to deliver aid to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip turned back yesterday in the face of an Israeli naval blockade, Palestinian officials said.
The ship, Al-Marwa, sailed instead to a port in neighboring Egypt. It left Libya last Monday, carrying 3,000 tons of food, medicine and other aid, Palestinian and Libyan officials said.
