Two boats carrying activists challenging an Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip reached the shore of the Hamas-controlled territory on Saturday.
The 44 "Free Gaza" activists from 17 nations, who had set out on Friday from Cyprus in two wooden boats, were met by thousands of Palestinians who cheered along the shoreline at their arrival.
"Today is a special day, we hope it's the beginning. We have opened the path and we hope there will be more travellers," said Vittorio Arrigoni, an Italian peace activist, after the ship anchored off shore.

Nobody cares.
