A small boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists has sailed into Gaza's port in defiance of an Israeli blockade on the coastal territory.
It's the fourth boat of activists to reach Gaza from Cyprus. They say they want to highlight the damaging effects of Israel's blockade. The closure was imposed after militant group Hamas seized power last year.
Israel has halted two other boats bound for Gaza _ one from Libya and one carrying Arab activists from Israel.
Among the new arrivals Tuesday were British activists who advocate a boycott of Israel's universities.
Also on board was a Gazan man who left the territory years ago.
His wife and children wept with joy as they embraced him. Relatives refused to say why he had left, or why he had been unable to come back.
