Greta Thunberg, a Swedish activist against climate change, is making the daring and content voyage to Gaza this trip aboard a humanitarian help vessel. It is a controversial and controversial voyage meant to challenge Israel’s continuous blockade, which some claim is starving civilians and causing famine in Gaza. The 22-year-old will board the Madleen, a ship belonging to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition ( FFC), on Sunday from Catania, Sicily, with other international activists. Their goal is to provide essential support and raise awareness of Gaza’s deteriorating humanitarian crises. Thunberg said in a speech about the goal,” The world may be silent spectators. This solitude and indifference that we experience in the majority of the world are fatal. We are witnessing a 2 million person being systematically starved. Every one of us is morally obligated to fight for a free Palestine.” Gaza is on the verge of famine, with 75 % of its population facing “emergency” or” catastrophic” food insecurity,” according to the World Health Organization. The FFC aims to end the months-long blockade in place by Israel, which has received growing foreign criticism. Backlash and calls for a “one-way ticket” Despite Thunberg’s philanthropic nature, criticism has been rife online and in the world’s advertising. She’s sailing to Gaza like it’s some sort of lovely vacation spot, according to Sky News Australia’s Danica De Giorgio, who named Thunberg her “big loser of the week.” De Giorgio continued,” She genuinely is annoying at all times.” She’ll fit right in, according to another commentator, Prue MacSween, because she’s like an industrial criminal herself. Many people on social media shared similar views, including” This hope it’s a one-way tour” and” I hope she stays in Gaza.” The voyage comes after another FFC vessel, Conscience, attempted to try again next month, which was reportedly struck by drones in international waters close to Malta. Despite the fact that Israel has not yet confirmed duty, the group attributed the attack to Israel. Over the years, FFC’s efforts have received praise and criticism for challenging the propriety and ethics of the Gaza siege.
