4 hours 42 min ago - Greece

In a bid to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip, the Freedom Flotilla II - comprising 10 ships carrying about 350 pro-Palestinian activists from 22 countries - is preparing to sail from Greece and elsewhere.

Israel insists the latest flotilla is a "dangerous provocation" and has vowed to intercept it. One of the ships - the Swedish Juliano - has been sabotaged. Organisers, however, remain defiant in going ahead with sailing to Gaza.

The flotilla comes a year after another aid shipment was intercepted by Israeli commandos. At least nine activists were killed when commandos stormed Mavi Marmara, the Turkish-owned lead aid ship

Al Jazeera will be updating this blog with videos provided by activists and journalists on board the ships.
