“It is the responsibility of countries, of our governments and elected officials to act to try to uphold international law, to prevent war crimes, to prevent genocide,“ she said.
The latest aid expedition towards Gaza is organised by a group called the Global Sumud Flotilla, which describes itself as an “independent” organisation. Sumud is the Arab word for perseverance.
“Our aim is to get to Gaza, to deliver the humanitarian aid, announce the opening of a humanitarian corridor and then bring more aid, and then thus also ending, breaking Israel’s illegal and inhumane siege on Gaza,“ said Thunberg.
Two attempts by activists to deliver aid by ship to Gaza, in June and July, were blocked by Israel.
The organisers of this latest flotilla have not said exactly when they are setting off, nor how many boats will leave from Barcelona.
