- On June 1, 2025, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition's British-flagged yacht Madleen departed from Catania, Sicily, carrying 12 activists including Greta Thunberg to Gaza.
- The voyage aimed to deliver humanitarian supplies and protest Israel’s naval blockade, which was tightened after the Hamas attack on southern Israel in October 2023.
- Israeli naval forces intercepted the Madleen in international waters early on June 9, ordering it to divert to Israel’s Ashdod port and detaining the activists onboard.
- The ship carried vital aid such as baby formula, rice, and medical supplies, while Israeli officials labeled the mission a propaganda stunt and planned to repatriate the detained activists soon.
- This interception underscores the ongoing blockade and conflict dynamics in Gaza, where humanitarian agencies warn of famine amid a devastating war since October 2023.
