A global fleet of boats involved in a maritime initiative to deliver humanitarian aid to starving people in Gaza were forced to turn back on Sunday due to bad weather conditions that prevented them from reaching their destination, rendering their mission unsuccessful for now. The flotilla aimed to break the Israeli blockade on the territory and bring much-needed supplies to its residents. The international effort was spearheaded by the Free Gaza Movement and drew boats from over 60 countries worldwide. The fate of the aid shipment remains uncertain as the weather conditions are expected to continue hindering rescue efforts.
