Rome, June 3 (RHC)-- A group of 12 activists have set sail from a Sicilian port in Italy carrying aid for Gaza.  The Freedom Flotilla Coalition had initially planned to sail from Malta last month, but the group’s ship was damaged in a drone attack. 

Passengers on board the flotilla include the Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.  Greta told reporters: “A month after our latest attempt to go on with this mission, the boat was bombed twice.  All evidence suggests Israel.  And we are doing this because we have to keep our promise to the Palestinians to do everything in our power to protest against the genocide and to try to open up a humanitarian corridor.”

The passengers on the flotilla have faced many threats, including from U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who wrote on X: “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!"
