Greta Thunberg sets sail on Gaza aid ship wearing League of Ireland jersey
Climate activist Greta Thunberg was spotted wearing a Bohemians jersey as she set sail on board the Madleen, as part of an effort to bring aid to Gaza. Thunberg appeared on Instagram wearing the club's third jersey, sponsored by Fontaines DC, an Irish band that has been involved in fundraising efforts to try to bring relief to the besieged territory. Bohs have played their part in raising awareness of the plight of Palestinians. Last year the club's senior women's team welcomed the Palestine women's international side to Dalymount Park for a friendly. And the club's Chief Operating Officer Daniel Lambert is manager of Kneecap, a band that has long been vocal in its support of Palestine. Thunberg is one of 12 people hoping to bring aid to Gaza. They set sail from Sicily on Sunday with the aim of bringing aid and awareness in the wake of the ongoing humanitarian crisis there. Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham is another member of the Madleen crew.
