A human rights group said two boats have departed for Cyprus from Gaza, carrying dozens of international activists who defied Israel's blockade of the coastal strip.
They said seven Palestinians, including five children, were also on board.
The activists sailed into Gaza on Saturday to protest Israel's blockade, imposed after Hamas took control there last year.
An Israeli government official had no comment shortly before the boats left.
