The Madleen ship of the coalition of the Fleeta de la Libertad, was heading to Gaza with humanitarian aid for the Hungry Palestinians because of the total blockade imposed by Israel for months.
After more than 80 days of an almost total blockade of Israel on Gaza, Greta Thuberg, the Eurodiputada Rima Hassan and other activists were heading on a ship to deliver humanitarian aid trying to break the fence held by the colonial state.
🚨 Israeli forces have boarded the Madleen in international waters. Freedom Flotilla Coalition reports connection with the ship has been lost. The video below was recorded around 2:30 EEST, just before the Israeli military stormed the vessel.

Israeli’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that Madleen’s crew is being transferred to Israel after Israeli commands stopped the ship in international waters.
The Madleen was 160 km from Gaza when he was arrested. The ship transported humanitarian aid for the hungry Palestinians because of the Israeli siege. Israel’s most recent total blockade began on March 2, after Israel unilaterally broke the high on fire.
Israel has killed more than 54,000 people in Gaza since October 7, while maintaining a land, maritime and aerial block since 2007.
The Madleen sailed from Sicily on June 1, a month after Israeli -manned planes bombarded another help ship that was heading to Gaza.
The 2,000 km (1,250 miles) trip was expected to last seven days, provided there are no interruptions. In the last hours, videos denouncing as Israeli occupation forces have been kidnapped in the networks kidnap the vessel and stop their crew.
‘If they see this video, they are intercepting and kidnaping us’
Greta Thunberg has shared a video in which she asks for international aid.
“My name is Greta Thunberg and I’m from Sweden”He said in the video recorded aboard the Madleen, before the events of tonight.
“If you see this video, we are being intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupation forces, or the forces that support Israel”said.
“I urge all my friends, family and colleagues to press the Swedish government to free me the others as soon as possible.”.
