Gaza aid flotilla 'should not have to exist' says Thunberg
The flotilla aims to break Israel's blockade and deliver humanitarian aid amid a UN-declared famine, with hundreds of activists including Greta Thunberg participating, organizers said.
- Rights activist Greta Thunberg will join the Global Sumud Flotilla departing from Barcelona on Sunday to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
- This expedition follows two previous flotillas in June and July, where Israeli troops boarded vessels, detained activists including Thunberg, and expelled them before aid could reach Gaza.
- The flotilla intends to reach Gaza to provide humanitarian aid, announce the creation of a humanitarian corridor, deliver additional supplies, and work toward ending what they consider the unlawful and harsh blockade imposed by Israel on Gaza.
- Greta Thunberg highlighted that governments have a duty to enforce international law to stop war crimes and genocide, noting that if they fulfilled this role, humanitarian aid missions like flotillas would not be required.
- The UN declared a famine in Gaza on August 22, blaming Israel's systematic obstruction of aid, a claim that Israel furiously denied, underscoring the flotilla's critical humanitarian context.
