Palestinian activists ride fishing boats as they protesting and perhaps trying to breach Israel's naval blockade on Gaza, setting to sail from Gaza City harbour towards Europe on May 29, 2018. Palestinians in Gaza are planning to break the Israeli blockade of the enclave by sending out two boats carrying medical patients. Organisers say the boats, which will carry people needing medical care, are a message that Palestinians will not accept Israel's blockade. The Gaza Strip has been under Israeli blockade for more than a decade severely restricting the flow of goods into the enclave, including food and medical supplies. Patients who require medical attention outside Gaza have been unable to leave the territory because of the blockade. Photo by Ashraf Amra
