Guinea Bissau Withdraws Flag, Halting Gaza Aid Flotilla

The removal of the Guinea Bissau flag from ships has stopped the Freedom Flotilla from delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza.

  • Guinea Bissau's decision to remove its flag from two ships has halted the Freedom Flotilla, preventing the delivery of 5,000 tonnes of aid.
  • The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, comprised of international human rights activists, has vowed to continue efforts despite the setback.
  • United Nations experts have called for Israel to allow unimpeded access for humanitarian aid to Gaza, citing international law.
  • The flotilla's interruption is seen as a political move, with activists accusing Israel of influencing Guinea Bissau's decision.
  • Humanitarian conditions in Gaza remain dire, with reports of imminent famine and catastrophic levels of hunger.
