Sailing instructor has history of activism

- By LIAM THORP ECHO Political Editor liam.thorp@reachplc.com @LiamThorpECHO

A 62-YEAR-OLD woman from Liverpool is embarking on a humanitarian mission as part of a flotilla of boats aiming to open up an aid corridor to Gaza.

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) which counts climate activist Greta Thunberg as one of its members is now made up of around 50 boats, which started out from countries including Spain, Greece and Tunisia and are aiming to reach the Gaza strip and bring aid to its besieged and starving residents.

The flotilla says its aim is to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza strip.

One of those joining the GSF is 62-year-old sailing instructor Hannah Schafer.

Originally from Ceredigion in west Wales, Ms Schafer now lives in Wavertree and is a fan of Liverpool Football Club.
