Alma vessel appears surrounded as connection lost

More unidentified vessels have surrounded the Alma vessel as video footage appears to have been lost, MEE has been told. 

The Sumud Flotilla organisers are reporting more than 2o unidentified vessels on their radar, just 3 nautical miles ahead of the fleet.

"This may signal a potential naval blockade. But let it be clear: we will not be intimidated by threats, harassment, or efforts to protect Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza," the organisers said.
