Sumud aid flotilla sets sail for Gaza again after delay due to storm

Global Sumud Flotilla of dozens of boats has set sail for Gaza, departing Barcelona port on Monday evening after stormy weather forced the group to return to port, Reuters has reported. 

Activists chanted 'Free Palestine' slogans and blew horns as they left the port. 

The flotilla of several dozen boats aims to deliver food and humanitarian supplies to the enclave. 

Israeli-imposed blockade on Gaza has caused at least 339 deaths due to starvation. This includes 124 children. Famine has been officially declared in Gaza by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), the UN-backed global hunger monitor. 

Pro-Palestinian activists, including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham, are on the Sumud flotilla. Sumud is the Arabic term for "resilience".
