Over 400 Turks were onboard the MV Mavi Marmara, which also departed from Istanbul. At the time of writing, seven Turkish citizens are confirmed dead, with numbers expected to rise.

This was the second night of unprecedented, massive demonstrations across the city that crippled the roads and infrastructure for 48 hours.
