Detained on the way to Gaza

Michigan attorney Huwaida Arraf helped lead a humanitarian flotilla carrying aid to Gaza earlier this month. The ships were intercepted by Israeli forces, and she was detained before being deported.

She tells The Metro’s Robyn Vincent why she keeps returning to sea and what she’s witnessed as aid access to Gaza remains restricted.
