Humanitarian supply ships headed from Turkey to Gaza have been denied the right to sail by an international shipping body.

The organization Freedom Flotilla Coalition said in a press statement Saturday afternoon the group organizing for support to Gaza was contacted by the Guinea Bissau International Ships Registry for an inspection of their lead ship. 

The inspector for GBISR conducted the inspection on Friday, and the organization withdrew consent for the legal registration and flag use for the two FFC ships, citing the organization’s planned mission to Gaza amid the war between Hamas and Israel.
