  • In October 2008, the movement’s yacht Dignity sailed from Cyprus to Gaza’s fishing port with medical supplies. Two months later, during Israel’s 2008-2009 war on Gaza, Dignity, carrying 3.5 tonnes of medical aid, was rammed and forced to dock in Lebanon. Activists blamed Israeli naval ships.

    In May 2010, the Free Gaza Movement, the Turkish Relief Foundation and other humanitarian organisations mounted the largest challenge to Israel’s blockade, with three cargo ships laden with basic supplies and four vessels carrying 600 passengers.

    Helicopter-borne Israeli commandos attacked the former Istanbul ferry Mavi Marmara, killing nine activists and wounding several dozen. Israel said several soldiers were injured, one seriously. Israel called the raid a “clear case of self-defence.”
