Gaza Aid Ship Damaged by Drones in International Waters

ai generated text

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition ship, Conscience, was attacked by armed drones while traveling through international waters near Malta. The attack occurred early on Friday morning, with the drones targeting the ship's generator. However, there is no confirmation of the drones causing the blasts, with the Maltese government stating that everyone on board is safe and the fire on the ship has been brought under control. The ship was carrying 16 people, including 12 crew members and four civilian passengers, when it came under attack.

    1. Six weeks of intense hostilities, combined with a complete blockage of aid for two months, have left civilians without the essentials they need to survive. Without an immediate resumption of aid deliveries, the will not have access to the food, medicines, and life-saving supplies needed to sustain many of its programmes in Gaza.

    1. Israel has threatened us and attacked us many times before, in 2010, killing 10 of our volunteers. It is also the primary entity interested in keep us and any aid out of Gaza.

    1. I don't know how people are managing. They have lost everything. The displacement continues every day and more people are searching for shelter and whatever they need to survive.

    1. We didn't even think that this would happen. It's the craziest thing in the world. The ship was in an anchor there, waiting for us to come. Who would send drones to bomb a ship that is anchoring off Malta?
