Humanitarian flotilla for the Gaza Strip. Ships attacked by drones

Propalestinian activists from the humanitarian flotilla flowing to the Gaza Strip announced on Tuesday that their ships were attacked by “several drones”, and in nearby explosions were heard.

“Many drones, dropped unidentified objects, disturbed communication and explosions heard from several boats,” wrote the global Sumud Flotilla, which last week sailed from Tunisia towards the Gaza Street.

“We are currently victims of these psychological actions, but we will not be intimidated,” he added.

According to the German human rights defender, Five Łódź was attacked. – We don't have weapons. We are not a threat to anyone – she said in a film published on Instagram and emphasized that the flotilla was transporting “only humanitarian aid”.

The flotilla consists of propaletic activists, including a Swedish activist for environmental protection Greta Thunberg. Ships are heading to Gaza to provide humanitarian aid and “break the Israeli blockade.”

On Monday, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it would not allow the Flotilla to break the sea blockade of Palestinian territory. This is a group “organized by Hamas and serving Hamas” – wrote the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem about the initiative of the global Sumud Flotilla.

“If the participants of the Flotilla actually want to provide humanitarian aid, and not to serve Hamas, Israel calls on the ships to moor in the port of Ashkelon and discharge the help, from where it will be immediately and a coordinated way transferred to the Gaza Zone,” it was written in the Monday announcement of Israeli diplomacy. At the same time, they were appealed to activists not to break Israeli law.

The Humanitarian crisis is underway in the Gaza Strip, including hunger, caused by the war of Israel with Hamas, which lasting nearly two years. According to humanitarian organizations, the situation gets worse, and the amount of help passed by Israel is still insufficient. Israel rejects the allegations that his actions contribute to hunger and announces the next steps to improve help. (PAP)
