Organizers say climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and other activists set sail Sunday for Gaza on a ship aimed at "breaking Israel's siege" of the territory.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg and actor Liam Cunningham have joined an international group of human rights activists on a dangerous journey. The mission aims to peacefully break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip while drawing attention to the region's dire humanitarian crisis.

According to the Marine Executive, the boat “corresponds to a UK-registered 18-meter sailing vessel named Barcarole.”The vessel left port on Sunday on what is thought to be an estimated 2,000-kilometer trip.
