Greta Thunberg has reportedly been detained by Israeli authorities after joining the Global Sumud flotilla — a humanitarian mission attempting to breach Israel’s naval blockade on Gaza.
Activists detained alongside Thunberg allege she is being held in a cell infested with bedbugs, denied sufficient food and water, and has developed skin rashes.
“They [Israeli forces] severely tortured Greta before our eyes… They made her crawl and made her kiss the Israeli flag,” — Turkish activist Ersin Çelik
Israeli officials have called these reports “unverified.” This story is developing. Share your thoughts with us below. 💭
