Overview
- The flotilla says a vessel was struck by a drone while anchored off Tunisia on September 9, scorching part of the boat but causing no injuries.
- Organizers also alleged a September 8 incident in Tunisian waters and released footage on September 9 showing a bright object falling onto a boat’s deck.
- Tunisian authorities deny a drone attack and described the September 8 blast as an internal explosion, and Reuters reported no official comment yet on the September 9 claim.
- The convoy departed Barcelona in late August carrying food, infant formula, and medical supplies to Gaza with activists from about 44 countries, including Greta Thunberg.
- Organizers say they will continue sailing toward Gaza despite the incidents, and participants include a Japanese volunteer who loaded personal aid onto her yacht.
