Activist Ship with Greta Thunberg Defies Israel, Approaches Gaza Blockade

An activist aid ship, the Madleen, carrying 12 people, including Greta Thunberg, is approaching Gaza despite Israeli warnings. The ship, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, aims to break the blockade and deliver aid. "When governments fail, we sail," said Thiago Avila, one of the activists aboard. The Israeli military has issued a warning, signaling a potential confrontation. Previous attempts have had mixed results; the 2008 Free Gaza mission was successful, but the 2010 Mavi Marmara raid resulted in nine deaths. The activists remain determined, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
