Greta Thunberg vows fight will continue after Gaza aid ship attacked by drones near Malta
A transport ship, the “Conscience,” bound for Gaza carrying humanitarian aid and activists, was bombed by drones in international waters off Malta early on Friday, its organizers said, alleging that Israel was to blame. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, an international non-governmental group, published video footage allegedly showing a fire aboard one of its ships.
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg said she will continue to fight for a “free Palestine” after the ship, that she was supposed to board, was allegedly attacked by drones.
The Israeli foreign ministry did not respond to a request for comment on the allegation by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.
The Maltese government said the vessel and its crew were secured in the early hours of the morning after a nearby tug assisted with firefighting operations.
Turkey’s foreign ministry said Turkish nationals were on board at the time of the incident, and it was working with Maltese authorities to transfer them to a safe location.
