Madleen Sets Sail for Gaza: Unarmed Mission Aims to Break Israeli Aid Blockade
June 3, 2025
A Freedom Flotilla Coalition boat set sail on Sunday from the southern Italian port of Catania, in another attempt to “”break Israel’s siege”” of Gaza and deliver aid to the territory despite numerous unsuccessful missions.
On board the boat Madleen are twelve humanitarians, including climate and human rights activist, Greta Thunberg, and Irish actor Liam Cunningham, and as much life-saving aid as the boat can carry, including baby formula, medical supplies, and more.
“”We are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying, because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity,”” Thunberg told reporters at a conference before the departure.
Unarmed and nonviolent, ‘Madleen’ poses no threat. She sails in full accordance with international law. Any attack or interference will be a deliberate, unlawful assault on civilians.
