Handala II has been denied permission to sail through #Germany and must therefore take a new route towards Gaza.
On Tuesday, 11 August, Handala II arrived at its first port, #Kiel, on its way from Denmark to #Gaza. … an accident occurred as the boat was attempting to dock. It damaged a pedestrian gangway and sustained minor damage to its stern. …
The German authorities took advantage of the situation. …
… The police used this opportunity to carry out extremely thorough inspections and, in practice, questioned virtually everything.
… the matter has now been resolved, and Handala is free to return to Denmark for repairs.
However, once the repairs are completed, Handala II will not be permitted to sail through the Kiel Canal. …
