Israeli armed forces stormed a ship carrying aid to Gaza today, killing two and injuring at least 30 others, according to the Associated Press. The boats are carrying around 700 protestors for Palestinian independence, and "10,000 tons" of aid like electric wheelchairs and bottled water, according to their press release.

Earlier, The New York Times reported that Israeli ships were approaching the vessels, called The Freedom Flotilla, and supported by the Free Gaza Movement and Insani Yardim Vakfi.
