A flotilla of ships, carrying humanitarian aid and activists including Greta Thunberg and Susan Sarandon, departed from Barcelona for Gaza to challenge Israel's blockade. The convoy aims to deliver food, water, and medicine amidst a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where famine threatens half a million people. Israel's offensive has restricted aid, and the flotilla faces potential interception by Israeli forces, echoing previous incidents. This action follows the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel, which triggered the ongoing conflict and worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
