Climate activist Greta Thunberg is part of a 52-boat flotilla heading to Gaza with humanitarian aid. The Global Sumud Flotilla aims to break Israel's sea blockade and deliver supplies to Palestinians. Thunberg rejected claims that it's a publicity stunt, saying no one would risk their lives for attention. The flotilla faced drone attacks near Tunisia and Crete. Israel calls the mission illegal and vows to stop it. In June, Thunberg was detained by Israeli authorities on a similar mission. The UN reports famine in Gaza due to Israel's aid restrictions. To support the flotilla, people can spread awareness on social media and contact their government representatives. (Updated 28 Sep 2025, 19:00 IST; source: link)
