A Palestinian woman hugs a relative at the Cypriot port of Larnaca, Friday. Two boatloads of international protesters who defied Israel's blockade of Gaza have sailed into Larnaca port carrying seven Gaza Palestinians who had been confined to the territory. The Palestinians include a Palestinian teenager who protesters said had lost his left leg to an Israeli tank shell explosion and a mother of four who was reunited with her brother after a decade apart. Members of the US-based Free Gaza group said after disembarking the boats on Friday that their trips to and from Gaza spells the end of Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory.
