set sail for war-torn Gaza on Sunday

aboard a boat called the Madeleine, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), carrying emergency relief supplies for ordinary Gazans.

Meanwhile, after news of the Greater's departure for Gaza spread, a top Israeli military spokesman warned that they were prepared to prevent the Greater's boat from reaching Gaza.

Brigadier General Effie Defrin, a spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), told the British media outlet The Times of London,

We are ready in this regard as well. We will act according to the experience we have gained in recent years.

However, he did not elaborate on what kind of steps Israel might take.

The Gaza Strip, which has been

reduced to rubble and a death camp by the Israeli occupation since October 2023, has been under a siege for more than 90 days. The region has been blockaded by land, sea, and air since 2007.

More than 54,600 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Israeli offensive began in October 2023. The entire Gaza Strip is now on the brink of famine after a three-month blockade.

In this situation, 22-year-old Swedish

climate activist Greta Thunberg could not sit still any longer. She has rushed by water to bring relief to innocent Gazans. Her relief boat contains milk, protein bars, baby food, diapers, flour, rice, water purifiers, hygiene products and medical equipment.

In addition to Greta Thunberg, there are 12 international peace activists on this journey, including Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham.

They call this flotilla mission a nonviolent, direct resistance to Israel's illegal blockade and war crimes.
