A humanitarian aid ship with 12 activists onboard, including Sweden’s Greta Thunberg, has sailed from Catania, Italy, for Gaza on June 1, 2025.
The ship Madleen, backed by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), will deliver the much-needed essential supplies to Palestine, in a second attempt in the last 5 weeks, after the organisation’s ship Conscience was hit by Israeli drones while on its way to Gaza on May 2, 2025.
Though Israel has not responded to the allegations but it is reported that veiled threats are being issued to the second ship Madleen as well, which is carrying baby formula, rice, flour, diapers, sanitary products for women, water desalination kits, crutches, medical supplies and children’s prosthetics.
