Madleen left Italy on June 1 to let world know more about hunger in enclave
-
Israeli forces intercepted a Gaza-bound aid boat yesterday, preventing the activists on board — including Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg — from reaching the blockaded Palestinian territory.
The Madleen set sail from Italy on June 1 to raise awareness of food shortages in Gaza, which the United Nations has called the “hungriest place on Earth”.
After 21 months of war, the UN warns the entire population is at risk of famine.
At around 4:02am (0102 GMT), Israeli forces “forcibly intercepted” the vessel in international waters as it was approaching Gaza, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition said.
‘Activists safe’
