Freedom Flotilla Coalition Gives Update on 12 Madleen Crew Detained by Israel
- Israeli forces boarded the UK-flagged Madleen early Monday while it carried humanitarian aid to Gaza from Sicily.
- The Madleen sought to deliver food, baby formula, and children's prosthetics amid Israel's blockade restricting aid to a starving Gaza population.
- The Freedom Flotilla Coalition said the unarmed civilian crew, including Greta Thunberg and MEP Rima Hassan, was unlawfully detained and their aid confiscated.
- Thunberg reported that Israeli forces stopped and detained them while they were in international waters, and she called on people to urge the Swedish government to secure their prompt release.
- This seizure highlights escalating tensions over Gaza's blockade and draws international calls for the Madleen's immediate release and unhindered humanitarian missions.
