The Madleen, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, recently rescued four migrants from the Mediterranean while on a mission to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The vessel responded to an emergency after migrants jumped overboard to escape potential detention by the Libyan coast guard. The coalition condemns the inhumane treatment these individuals may face if returned to Libya and urges European countries to assist. Among the passengers aboard is climate activist Greta Thunberg, aiming to draw attention to the large-scale humanitarian crisis affecting Gaza's population, exacerbated by recent blockades.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition protested the return of the other migrants to Libya, where human rights campaigners have said they face abuse and even torture.
Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg is among the 12 activists aboard the Madleen which departed Sicily on Sunday on a mission that aims to break the sea blockade on Gaza.
