Native Affairs Summer Series – Destination Gaza – Part 1

One of our biggest stories of 2015 happened last July, making news headlines both here and overseas, when our reporter Ruwani Perera and cameraman Jacob Bryant set sail for Gaza, on board what Palestinian supporters called a "Freedom Flotilla". Four vessels planned to set sail for Gaza, their mission to try and break the Israeli-imposed naval blockade on Gaza.

On board the ship were human rights activists, artists and political figures representing 17 countries, alongside media from around the globe.

Ruwani Perera filed this two-part Special Report on the 'Ship to Gaza' mission - the third flotilla of its kind since 2010.
