FED:'Terrifying': families in the dark after Aussies held

Gaza Israel

Families of Australians detained by Israeli forces while attempting to deliver aid to Gaza hold grave fears for their loved ones and remain in the dark about their whereabouts.

The group of 11 were among 400 people part of a flotilla detained by Israel in international waters west of Cyprus early on Tuesday.

Video live-streamed to the Global Sumud Festival's website showed black-clad soldiers boarding the vessels while angles later taken by other flotilla participants revealed abandoned vessels bobbing in the sea as Palestinian flags fly in the wind.

Neve O'Connor, Sam Woripa Watson, Anny Mokotow, Isla Lamont, Juliet Lamont, Surya McEwen, Zack Schofield, Bianca Webb-Pullman, Gemma O'Toole, Violet Coco and Helen O'Sullivan were all confirmed to have been taken.
