An aid ship bound for Gaza was attacked by drones in international waters off Malta, leading to significant damage but no injuries among the crew.
Overview
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition's aid ship, Conscience, was attacked by drones in international waters off Malta, causing damage and prompting accusations against Israel, though no evidence was provided. The crew—12 members and 4 civilians—remained safe, and a nearby tugboat responded to assist. The strike was reported to have damaged the generator and created holes in the hull. As Gaza faces worsening humanitarian conditions due to an ongoing blockade, volunteers—including climate activist Greta Thunberg—planned to assess the ship's damage. The International Committee of the Red Cross has warned that aid delivery is critically needed to avoid further collapse of humanitarian efforts.
