The Irish aid ship blocked from delivering relief supplies to Gaza has arrived in Israel, campaigners confirmed tonight.

Labour MEP Proinsias de Rossa is calling on the Government to initiate legal action against Israel in light of the attack on the aid convoy last Monday and the boarding of the MV Rachel Corrie.

A Scottish activist who was caught up in the storming of the Gaza aid flotilla today spoke of her “horrendous” ordeal.
