Israel intercepts Gaza-bound aid ship, detaining Greta Thunberg and other prominent activists

Israel has vowed to block the “Madleen” aid ship from reaching Gaza, calling it a media stunt. The vessel, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, aims to challenge Israel’s blockade. Israeli officials warn the attempt is unlawful and undermines humanitarian efforts, CNN has reported. Despite limited aid recently allowed into Gaza, humanitarian groups warn of worsening famine and crisis conditions.
