Greta Thunberg and 11 fellow activists have boarded a vessel bound for Gaza with the unlikely goal of “breaking Israel’s siege.”

According to organisers, the group set off on Sunday from the Sicilian port of Catania aboard the Madleen, a sailing boat operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

Speaking at a press conference before departure, the activists said the mission aims to deliver limited humanitarian aid and draw global attention to the ongoing situation in Gaza.
