The Global Sumud Flotilla, which consisted of several boats including Greta Thunberg’s, was reportedly targeted by multiple drones in the waters off the coast south of Crete on Wednesday. The activists claimed that the vessels, with over 500 volunteers onboard, were sprayed with unidentified chemicals during the attack. The incident raised concerns about the safety of the activists and the purpose of the flotilla’s mission to Gaza.
In response to the alleged attack, activists on board the flotilla expressed outrage and condemned the use of drones to target peaceful vessels. The Swedish boat, carrying Greta Thunberg and other volunteers, was specifically mentioned as being among those attacked. The activists accused the perpetrators of attempting to intimidate and disrupt their humanitarian mission to Gaza, emphasizing their determination to continue their journey despite the challenges they faced.
The Global Sumud Flotilla’s mission to Gaza aims to raise awareness about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region and show solidarity with the Palestinian people. The use of drones to target the flotilla was seen as a dangerous escalation that put the lives of the volunteers at risk. Activists reiterated their commitment to non-violent resistance and peaceful protest, calling for accountability for those responsible for the attack on their vessels.
International organizations and human rights groups expressed concern over the safety and well-being of the activists on board the flotilla following the reported drone attacks. The use of chemical substances during the alleged attack raised further alarm about the nature of the threats faced by the volunteers. Calls were made for independent investigations into the incident and for measures to ensure the protection of those participating in humanitarian missions like the Global Sumud Flotilla.
