Israeli naval forces boarded and seized a charity vessel that had tried to break a naval blockade of the war-torn Gaza Strip on Monday. The boat, with its crew of 12, including activist Greta Thunberg, is now heading to a port in Israel.
The vessel, named 'Madleen', aimed to deliver aid and raise awareness of the Gaza crisis. A UN rapporteur has urged more boats to challenge the Gaza blockade.
Greta Thunberg was photographed with part of the crew of the ship 'Madleen' shortly before leaving Gaza last week.
