Tensions Surrounding Gaza Aid Flotilla: Claims of Drone Strike and Denials
The Global Sumud Flotilla, which includes activists led by Greta Thunberg, has reported that one of its boats was struck by a drone while docked in Tunisia. The flotilla claims this incident occurred as they prepared for an aid mission to Gaza, leading to a fire on board. However, Tunisian authorities have denied these claims, stating that no drones were detected and that the fire was caused internally. Conflicting reports have emerged, with the flotilla asserting the drone strike happened, while local officials maintain that there is no basis for such claims. As the situation unfolds, the flotilla remains in the spotlight amid the ongoing humanitarian efforts related to Gaza.
