Greta Thunberg said she is “not scared of Israel” as she sailed with an international aid flotilla toward Gaza, calling the voyage a last resort to show “there is still some humanity left.” The Swedish activist said the Global Sumud Flotilla mission should not have to exist but will continue to try to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza’s 2 million-plus people under siege.
The Gaza aid flotilla is currently using about 50 civilian boats to try to break Israel’s naval blockade on the enclave. This is the third time Thunberg has traveled in a boat attempting to break through the blockade.
Thunberg accused Israel of “systematically” starving Gaza and cited a U.N. commission’s findings as evidence of genocide, urging governments to halt arms transfers and apply “real pressure.”
