Israel's Foreign Ministry says 12 activists, including Greta Thunberg, have disembarked in the Israeli port of Ashdod after their Gaza-bound boat was seized.
Hamas gunmen allegedly opened fire on Palestinians working for an Israel-U.S.-backed humanitarian aid distribution operation, killing five and injuring several others.
Israeli forces stopped a Gaza-bound aid boat and detained Greta Thunberg and other activists who were on board early Monday.
Egyptian authorities detained activists planning to march to Gaza in protest of restrictions on aid reaching the territory, while security forces in eastern Libya blocked a convoy of activists en route to meet them.
Boston Consulting Group, which helped design and run the business operations of the Gaza Humanitarian Fund, withdrew its team from the aid delivery program.
There, Palestine Solidarity Sudbury said in a release, they “will demand that the Canadian government support the struggle of the Palestinian people to break the siege; let sufficient food and other aid to enter Gaza so that the Palestinian people can live in dignity; and end the Zionist terror.”
Six more activists from the Freedom Flotilla Gaza humanitarian aid mission aboard the Madleen boat were deported from Israel Thursday. They had sought to deliver aid to Gaza but were stopped by Israel's naval blockade.
Thunberg was one of 12 passengers on board the Madleen, a boat carrying aid destined for people in war-torn Gaza.
