Aid Ship Sails to Gaza with Greta Thunberg on Board
Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists are on their own way to Gaza Strip aboard a ship carrying humanitarian aid, according to Associated Press. The aid ship seeks to break 'Israel's siege' of the devastated territory, organizers said. Operated by activist group Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the ship headed on Sunday from the Sicilian port of Catania, in southern Italy. Greta Thunberg The activists said that they will try to reach the shores of Gaza and deliver some aids to Palestinians who are starving due to Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid. 'We are doing this because, no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying,' Thunberg said. Greta Thunberg and other activists The mission also seeks to raise 'international awareness' over the ongoing humanitarian crisis. 'Because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity. And no matter how dangerous this mission is, it's not even near as dangerous as the silence of the entire world in the face of the live-streamed genocide,' she added. Interestingly, 'Game of Thrones' actor Liam Cunningham and Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament who is of Palestinian descent joined the crew. Israel has previously banned Hassan from entering due to her obvious opposition to the Israeli war on Gaza. If the ship is not stopped, the activists will arrive in Gaza within 7 days. 'We are breaking the siege of Gaza by sea, but that's part of a broader strategy of mobilizations that will also attempt to break the siege by land,' said activist Thiago Avila.
