ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Authorities say a ship meant to take aid to Gaza has reached Greece after allegedly leaving Libya with a dozen aid workers and port officials held against their will over a pay dispute.
Coast guard officials say the Strofades IV arrived at Greece's main port of Piraeus, outside Athens, on Friday. They provided no further details.
According to the London-based Road to Hope group, three Libyan port officials, as well as six Britons, two Irish nationals, an Algerian and a Moroccan, were being held against their will on the Strofades IV.
The group said the vessel broke its moorings at the Libyan port of Derna late Wednesday and headed for Greece following an argument between the shipowner and a broker.
