epa02178114 A handout photograph supplied by the Free Gaza Movement on 29 May 2010 shows one of the activist’s vessels decked out in flags of Turkey and Palestine as it sets sail on 22 May 2010 from Turkey as part of a peace flotilla of some 8 ships intending to carry some 800 activists and 10,000 tons of supplies to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has been imposing a strict embargo of goods allowed to enter the area since the Islamic Hamas movement took control of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military has firmly stated on May 28 that it will stop the flotilla from entering Gaza waters, which it controls. EPA/STRINGER HANDOUT PHOTO EDITORIAL USE ONLY / NO SALES
