MEP Rima Hassan Joins Gaza Aid Flotilla Anchored Off Tunis

The mission led in part by Greta Thunberg seeks to deliver supplies to Gaza during a UN‑declared famine.

Overview

  • Hassan said on Saturday she would board the Global Sumud Flotilla, announcing her decision on X.
  • She joined the convoy in the Tunisian port of Bizerte, according to media reports.
  • The flotilla reports a drone targeted one of its boats near Sidi Bou Saïd, and departure has been postponed while vessels remain at anchor off Tunis.
  • Organizers say the convoy left Barcelona in late August after earlier attempts in June and July were blocked by Israel.
  • Hassan stated that governments are responsible for the continuation of a “genocide” in Gaza, a description she used in her post.
