Palestinians in the Gaza Strip will try to breach Israel's blockade by boat this week in a fresh challenge to Israeli forces following weeks of deadly protests and clashes, organisers said Sunday.
Few details were given on the plans, but organisers said the boat would depart on Tuesday at 11:00 am (0800 GMT) carrying patients needing medical care, students and job-seeking university graduates.
The boat also brings "dreams of our people and their aspirations for freedom", organiser Salah Abdul-Ati said in a press conference at Gaza City's port on the Mediterranean coast.
He called on the United Nations and other international bodies to protect the boat leaving from the enclave run by Islamist movement Hamas.
Organisers said it would be the first attempt of its kind from the Gaza Strip.
Its intended destination was not announced.

The bodies will likely wash ashore like so much debris.

Hamas does not value life. The more dead body's the better for them.
I say let em stack up like cord wood on the beaches and rot like dead fish in the sun.
