Web Desk: A humanitarian vessel with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition—was reportedly attacked by Israeli drones in international waters, just 16 miles off Malta’s coast.
The ship, carrying aid for Gaza’s besieged population, was engulfed in flames and left heavily damaged, nearly sinking.
The Israeli drone strike marked a brazen assault on a civilian-led relief mission, defying international maritime law and escalating its ongoing war on humanitarian lifelines to Gaza.
Thirty non-violent humanitarian workers were aboard the Freedom Flotilla ship as it sought to defy Israel’s two-month siege on aid—a blockade widely condemned for starving Gaza’s civilian population of basic necessities.
