Gaza flotilla with Greta Thunberg on board departs Barcelona
A flotilla of boats, including one with climate activist Greta Thunberg on board, has set sail from Barcelona towards Gaza. The departure occurred on Saturday morning as part of an effort to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza.
The flotilla, named “Freedom Waves to Gaza,” aims to deliver humanitarian aid and medical supplies to the Palestinian territory, which has been under blockade by Israel since 2007. The organizers of the flotilla argue that the blockade has led to a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with severe shortages of food, medicine, and other essential supplies.
Israeli officials have condemned the flotilla, describing it as a provocative and dangerous attempt to breach the blockade. They argue that the blockade is necessary for security reasons to prevent weapons and materials that could be used by militants in Gaza from entering the territory.
Greta Thunberg, a prominent figure in the climate activist movement, joined the flotilla to show solidarity with the people of Gaza and to draw attention to the impact of the blockade on their lives. She tweeted before the departure, expressing her support for the Palestinian cause and calling for an end to the blockade.
The flotilla is expected to reach Gaza in the coming days, although it remains unclear how Israeli authorities will respond to its arrival.
Sources Analysis:
