💨 Abstract

Israel's defense minister vowed to stop a boat carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, including supplies like baby formula and medical aid, by any means necessary. The boat, Madleen, is part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and carries activists like Greta Thunberg, aiming to break the naval blockade and raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis. Israel claims the blockade prevents Hamas from importing arms. The activists fear being cut off from the world and report a drone attack on a sister vessel.
