The yacht Madleen, part of a humanitarian mission led by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, aimed to deliver aid to Gaza and raise awareness about its humanitarian crisis. Israeli forces intercepted the vessel, which included renowned climate activist Greta Thunberg among its 12 crew members. Following their interception, Israeli authorities reported that all individuals onboard were safe and en route to an Israeli port. In light of these events, a UN rapporteur has encouraged further maritime efforts to confront the Gaza blockade and draw international attention to the crisis.
