Overview

• Organisers say multiple drones overflew the convoy, explosions were heard, and radios were jammed, with activists reporting five boats affected and no casualties.
• The Global Sumud Flotilla numbers roughly 50 vessels with participants from 44 countries carrying food and medical aid and is sailing near Greek waters toward Gaza.
• Israel has reiterated that the boats will not be allowed to reach Gaza and called on them to unload aid at Ashkelon for coordinated delivery.
• Activists previously alleged drone attacks at a Tunisian stop, a claim Tunisian authorities rejected as unfounded after a fire on one vessel.
• Internal tensions continue as Tunisian coordinator Khaled Boujemâa resigned over objections to LGBTQ participants, and Greta Thunberg left the steering committee but remains a participant.
