Gaza Aid Flotilla Carrying Greta Thunberg Departs Tunisia
The flotilla seeks to break Israel's blockade and deliver aid to Gaza after two earlier attempts were blocked, with about 20 boats departing from Barcelona and Tunisia's Bizerte port.
- On Monday, about 20 boats carrying aid and activists, including Greta Thunberg, set sail from Tunisia toward Gaza to challenge Israel's naval blockade.
- The flotilla follows Israel's naval blockade imposed on Gaza since January 3, 2009, and previous attempts blocked by Israel in June and July.
- Organizers characterize the effort as the most extensive maritime campaign in support of Gaza to date, involving numerous groups, while participants experienced delays and drone strikes against their boats.
- Ahed Ferwana noted that discussions about the ships demonstrate international support in contrast to the lack of response from governments, while journalist Rahaf Hamada maintained that the flotilla is unlikely to alter the existing situation.
- The flotilla highlights Gaza's dire humanitarian crisis but likely will not break the blockade, reflecting ongoing suffering and the need for a shift in the balance of power.
