Now, look, we're trying to get through to Rana Hamidah, who's an activist with the flotilla, but we can't get a clear line to her. Now, my understanding of the situation is you've got, I think there are about 58 boats, something like that, a huge number of vessels trying to get into Gaza at the moment. And the IDF, the Israeli forces, have only intercepted some of them, like maybe about 11 or something like that. So the vast majority of them are still free to float around and sail and do all the things that they want to do. do Samuel the young chap from New Zealand who was on the last flotilla is on one of those boats that hasn't been intercepted yet so because we can't get a line through to Rana who I think is on land coordinating the whole thing she's the Palestinian Kiwi we'll try to get a line through to Samuel and see if we might be able to get him on one of the boats we've got Samuel Leeson on the line who is on the flotilla Samuel can you hear me hi
