Activists Say Second Boat Attacked by Suspected Drone
The Global Sumud Flotilla, supported by delegations from 44 countries, continues its mission after a second drone strike damaged the British-flagged Alma vessel's top deck.
- On Tuesday, the Global Sumud Flotilla reported a second drone strike on its vessels anchored off Sidi Bou Saïd, Tunis, Tunisia, and said on Wednesday all passengers and crew were unharmed.
- The Global Sumud Flotilla seeks to break Israel's naval blockade to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza; Israel has maintained the blockade since Hamas seized control in 2007 and sealed Gaza by land in early March.
- A video posted on Instagram shows a luminous object hitting a boat and fire erupting immediately after; the British-flagged Alma sustained fire damage to its top deck and an investigation is underway.
- Despite the strikes, the Global Sumud Flotilla presses forward with determination and is supported by delegations from 44 countries, including Greta Thunberg and Mariana Mortagua.
- The wider conflict began after Hamas's October 2023 attack, killing 1200 and taking about 250 hostages, while Israel's assault has killed over 64,000 Palestinians and caused famine in parts of the Gaza Strip.
