Turkish authorities evacuated on Saturday activists of Global Sumud Flotilla who were intercepted by Israel in the international water, during their attempt to break the siege imposed on Gaza Strip and deliver humanitarian aids to the Palestinian people.
Anadolu News Agency quoted Turkish sources as saying that a Turkish airlines plane carried 36 Turkish people to Istanbul, in addition to 137 nationals of several other countries.
Israeli navy attacked late Wednesday night all the ships of Global Sumud Flotilla carrying humanitarian aids and volunteers.
