All Eyes On The Madleen Freedom Flotilla

As Gaza faces over three months of Israeli blockade, a group of 12 activists is sailing to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid.

These are the 12 activists on board the Madleen:

Greta Thunberg – Swedish climate activist,
Rima Hassan – French-Palestinian Member of European Parliament,
Yasemin Acar – Germany,
Baptiste Andre – France,
Thiago Avila – Brazil,
Omar Faiad – France,
Pascal Maurieras – France,
Yanis Mhamdi – France,
Suayb Ordu – Turkiye,
Sergio Toribio – Spain,
Marco van Rennes – The Netherlands,
Reva Viard – France.

The Madleen ship was launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and initially planned to sail from Malta last month, but the group's ship was damaged in a suspected drone attack by Israel. The new mission includes the renowned Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who spoke with Democracy Now! from the Madleen.

"We are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying, because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity." - Greta Thunberg.
