A spokesperson for a group trying to break the Israeli navy blockade of Gaza to deliver aid says two Canadians who were detained by Israel in the Mediterranean Sea have been released.

The Global Sumud Flotilla identified the Canadians as Marie Tota and Umir Tiar.

Tota is a nurse from Ontario and Tiar is a student from Quebec City, said Global Sumud Canada spokesperson Safa Chebbi.

Chebbi says she has been told by the group’s organizer on the ground in Greece that both Canadians were in hospital for medical checkups.
