The crew of the Gaza Breaking Siege Project is mobilizing their final efforts to launch a group of relief ships. The number of participants in the Freedom Flotilla ships may reach 1,200 people from more than 50 countries.

It is expected that a ship loaded with humanitarian and medical aid and shelter supplies will depart from the Libyan port of Misrata. Al Jazeera Net spoke with the head of the International Committee for Breaking the Siege of Gaza, Zaher Al-Birawi, about this new convoy.
