Tunisia Condemns Drone Strike on Gaza Aid Flotilla

2

Tunisia has denounced a drone strike on the Global Sumud Flotilla, the second such attack in two days, calling it an “orchestrated” assault. The aid convoy, docked at the Tunisian port of Sidi Bou Said, is supported by activists from 44 countries, including Greta Thunberg. It plans to sail to Gaza to challenge Israel’s long-standing naval blockade of the enclave and deliver critical aid to Palestinians who are experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis exacerbated by famine. Organizers described the strikes as deliberate attempts to derail the mission, though Israel has not commented. While no injuries occurred, the incident has drawn international attention, with UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese calling it an “attack against Tunisia’s sovereignty.”
