In a dramatic turn of events, the Sumud humanitarian flotilla – carrying vital food and medical supplies for Gaza – was intercepted by Israeli naval forces approximately 70 nautical miles from its destination. The vessel, packed with international lawmakers, human rights lawyers, and activists, became a floating symbol of global solidarity ✊.
Among the high-profile passengers was Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who joined the mission to highlight what organizers call a 'catastrophic humanitarian crisis' in Gaza. Live footage from the flotilla showed tense moments as military vessels approached, with activists chanting 'Free Palestine' through megaphones 📢.
While details remain fluid, sources confirm the flotilla organizers prioritized non-violent resistance tactics. The incident has already sparked outrage on social media, with #FlotillaOfHope trending worldwide 🌐. As night falls over the Mediterranean, questions mount about the fate of those detained and the future of civilian-led aid efforts.
