US EditionMadleen to Reach Gaza in 24h with Aid in Bold Challenge to Israeli Blockade
- The humanitarian aid vessel Madleen, carrying 12 activists including Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan, sailed from Sicily on June 1 toward Gaza.
- The voyage aims to break Israel's naval blockade amidst a near-total aid ban on Gaza since March 2, while Israel insists it will intercept the vessel as a security threat.
- The Madleen is about 150 nautical miles from Gaza, preparing for possible interception near the blockade zone, while the blockade has caused severe food insecurity for over 90% of Gaza's population.
- Rima Hassan posted they will arrive in Palestinian waters in 24 hours and warned any interception violates international law, while activists emphasize their peaceful mission and humanitarian intent.
- The flotilla's progress highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and may increase international pressure on Israel's blockade and military campaign.
