Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has denied claims that the Gaza flotilla she is part of is a publicity stunt. The flotilla, organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, consists of two ships aiming to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza. Thunberg, along with other activists, journalists, and humanitarian workers, boarded the ships in order to raise awareness about the situation in Gaza.
Israeli authorities have accused the flotilla of being a publicity stunt organized by pro-Palestinian groups to delegitimize Israel. They have warned that the flotilla will not be allowed to reach Gaza and have called on the international community to condemn the action.
Thunberg, however, has refuted these claims, stating that the purpose of the flotilla is purely humanitarian. She emphasized the need to end the suffering of the people in Gaza and called on world leaders to take action.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition has echoed Thunberg’s statements, emphasizing that the primary goal of the mission is to deliver medical supplies and other essential aid to Gaza, where conditions have been deteriorating due to the blockade.
The situation remains tense as the flotilla approaches Gaza, with Israeli authorities on high alert. The international community is closely watching the developments, with many calling for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
