Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza Reports Second Drone Attack
A second drone attack has hit a vessel of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a mission carrying aid to besieged Gaza, off Tunisia's coast on Tuesday. The incident occurred just a day after another explosion damaged the flotilla's main boat.
According to sources, the second drone attack targeted one of the Gaza-bound vessels in international waters, approximately 200 miles off Tunisia's coast. The attack caused significant damage but no casualties were reported. Organisers confirmed that the mission will continue despite the attacks.
The first incident occurred on Monday when an explosion damaged the main boat, forcing organisers to divert aid supplies to other vessels. The second drone attack has raised concerns about the safety of the flotilla and its crew.
The Global Sumud Flotilla is a humanitarian mission aiming to break Israel's blockade of Gaza, which has been in place since 2007. The blockade restricts access to basic necessities such as food, medicine, and fuel, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
Organisers have vowed to continue their mission, citing international law and the need for aid to reach those affected by the blockade. The flotilla is expected to arrive in Gaza within the coming days, despite the challenges posed by the attacks.
As the situation unfolds, international attention is focused on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the implications of these attacks on the flotilla's mission.
