Greta Thunberg’s aid flotilla was intercepted by Israeli military and its crew detained as it made its final approach to Gaza, Israeli officials have confirmed. Protests were held across the world as demonstrators condemned Israel’s decision to block the aid mission into Gaza. It comes after activists said the flotilla was “aggressively circled” by an Israeli warship as they approached Gaza on Tuesday. The flotilla is on the final stretch of its aid mission to Gaza, carrying around 500 activists including civilians from more than 40 countries.
