Kiwi teen says flotilla heading to Gaza under drone attack
A kiwi teenager on a protest boat destined for Gaza said the flotilla is under attack from drones in international waters. 18 year old Sam Leason is onboard the Sirius in the Mediterranean Sea between Crete and coast of Libya. Earlier this month, a flotilla of 70 boats set sail from Europe carrying humanitarian aid, seeking to break the Israeli naval blockade of the Palestinian territory. Leason spoke to Lisa Owen.
