Summary

Eleven Australians who attempted to sail to Gaza to deliver aid are returning home. They were part of the Freedom Flotilla, made up of dozens of ships and hundreds of people from around the world who are trying to break Israel's maritime blockade of the Gaza strip. Israel has intercepted multiple missions ... but there's growing international concern about the welfare of activists and their treatment while being detained and deported back to their home countries.
