Environmental activist Greta Thunberg will today launch a second Gaza-bound ‘Freedom Flotilla’, just weeks after she was detained in international waters by Israel.
Thunberg, 22, will launch the Global Sumud Flotilla from Barcelona with the aim of delivering aid to the people of Gaza, who have been pushed into famine by Israel’s retaliatory incursion into the Strip.
Her first attempt to reach Gaza in June after setting off from Italy was thwarted by Israeli forces, who boarded the vessel in international waters and detained her.
