Five Irish activists who were held in Israel after their vessels in a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza were intercepted, have arrived back in Dublin.

The group said that they were “denied access to water, medical care and legal aid” after being detained while attempting to provide humanitarian support to the people of Gaza.
