US EditionGaza aid flotilla 'should not have to exist' says Thunberg
- The Global Sumud Flotilla, featuring Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, departed Barcelona on Sunday to deliver aid to Gaza but had to return the following day due to dangerous weather conditions.
- Organisers chose to halt the mission due to strong winds above 56 km/h posing a danger to the smaller boats, highlighting the unpredictable weather conditions in the Mediterranean that have previously caused delays or interceptions of similar flotillas.
- The mission involved about 20 vessels from 44 nations, with participants such as actors Liam Cunningham and Susan Sarandon supporting the effort to challenge Israel's naval blockade and raise humanitarian awareness.
- High winds over 35 miles per hour and AEMET's weather warnings led organisers to describe the return as a delay, stating they aim to resume once conditions stabilize and safe passage can be assured.
- The flotilla's setback postpones aid delivery but maintains momentum as activists remain committed to a future voyage to Gaza to highlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis amid a blockade causing severe civilian hardship.
