The Rachel Corrie, named for an American activist killed in Gaza several years ago, was expected to arrive late Friday or early Saturday off the coast of Gaza. The vessel left Ireland laden with 550 tons of cement, educational materials, toys and medical equipment -- the latest effort by peace activists to deliver humanitarian goods and break Israel's blockade, according to aid organizers.
Free Gaza Movement activist Derek Graham said that the plan was for the Rachel Corrie to be unloaded in Gaza and then return to Ireland.
The Irish government asked that Israel not interfere.

The Israeli government has offered to receive the ship at the Ashdod port, inspect the contents and deliver the goods. The Irish ambassador to Israel has requested that Israel leave the ship alone.
