Gaza-bound Aid Flotilla With 12 Activists On Board Nears Gaza Coast Despite Israeli Warning
A drone view shows the Gaza-bound aid ship Madleen, organised by the international NGO Freedom Flotilla Coalition, anchored off the coast of Catania, Italy, on June 1, 2025. REUTERS/Danilo Arnone ANKARA, June 8 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The aid ship "Madleen" has entered Egyptian waters on its way to Gaza, despite Israel's stated intention to prevent it from docking, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported citing the International Committee for Breaking the Siege on Gaza announced Sunday. The committee, one of the aid flotilla organisers, said in a statement that the ship has passed through Alexandria, northern Egypt, and will "in hours reach Mansoura city... en route to Gaza." "The coming hours will be most critical," the statement read. bootstrap slideshow The ship also has 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and Irish actor Liam Cunningham. Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament who is also on board the vessel, posted a live photo update on her X account. Last week, Israeli state broadcaster KAN reported that Tel Aviv had reversed its initial decision to allow the ship to pass. The approval was withdrawn under the pretext of "setting a precedent" for future humanitarian aid missions. The ship is carrying urgently needed supplies for the people of Gaza, including baby formula, flour, rice, diapers, women's sanitary products, water desalination kits, medical supplies, crutches, and children's prosthetics, according to its organisers. Another ship operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the Conscience, was targeted by drones off the coast of Malta on May 2. Israel, rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, has pursued a devastating offensive in Gaza since October 2023, killing nearly 54,800 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Aid agencies have warned about the risk of famine among the enclave's more than 2 million inhabitants.

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Armizan Ali has taken further jabs at Wee Ka Siong over the MCA president championing the use of subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders without a permit for small food traders. In a statement today, Armizan sarcastically said if Wee had found his voice as the people's spokesperson while he was a minister four years back, then he would have raised objections against the Control of Supplies (Amendment) Regulations in 2021 instead of now. "I think I need to congratulate the...

Many opportunities for Asean amidst US' tariff tantrum, says Asean-BAC head
HANOI (Bernama-VNA): South-East Asian countries can capitalise on the rollout of tariffs and other US policies by re-evaluating overlooked relations with other trade partners and opening their doors to international students. The statement is according to Tan Sri Nazir Razak, Chairman of the Asean Business Advisory Council (Asean-BAC) - the Asean's business lobby. Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reported, Nazir, who leads the council during Malaysia's Asean Chairmanship in 2025, emphasised the importance of strengthening intra-regional economic ties by boosting trade and investment within the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean).
