The Global Sumud Flotilla, aiming to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza, reported a second consecutive night of attacks on its British-flagged boat docked in Tunisian waters, with a drone launching projectiles that caused a fire on deck, though no one was harmed.
This followed a similar assault on the Portuguese-flagged Family vessel the previous night, which Tunisian authorities claimed was not drone-related, and they are investigating both incidents without an immediate response to the second.
The flotilla, comprising approximately 20 boats, set sail from Barcelona on September 1 with symbolic humanitarian aid, intending to stop in Tunisia before proceeding to Gaza.
Activists labeled the attacks as deliberate attempts to derail their mission amid heightened Israeli aggression toward Palestinians, yet they remain resolute in continuing.
Security camera footage captured crew members shouting and pointing at the sky as fiery projectiles landed, igniting the deck.
The incidents underscore the perilous environment for humanitarian missions in conflict zones, particularly in international waters and ports.
The lack of immediate reaction from Israeli authorities adds to the tension surrounding the blockade.
The flotilla’s determination highlights the broader struggle for humanitarian access to Gaza, where such efforts face significant risks.
These events reflect ongoing regional conflicts and the challenges of delivering aid under such circumstances, emphasizing the need for international attention to ensure the safety of activists.
