Ship with aid bound for Gaza sets sail to break blockade

A yacht named Madleen is currently in Malta, preparing to depart for Gaza with aid for Palestinians who are under siege. The ship also has celebrities on board. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition shared a photo of the vessel. The ship, carrying essential aid such as medical supplies and baby formula, aims to challenge the Israeli blockade on Gaza. The organizers emphasized that the Madleen is not carrying any weapons and is equipped with a tracking device to ensure transparency and safety. Previous similar missions have faced challenges, including a deadly raid by the IDF in 2010. Activists like Greta Thunberg and actor Rima Hassan are reported to be part of the current voyage. Last month, another ship, the Conscience, faced distress off the coast of Malta, highlighting the risks associated with such missions. Various notable figures have expressed support for the flotilla, including actors, artists, and activists.
