Anti-Israel activist ship sets sail for Gaza after drone attack claims

International activist organisation Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said one of its vessels left the Italian port of Catania on Sunday, heading for Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid, after a previous attempt failed due to a "drone attack" on a separate ship in the Mediterranean.

The crew of volunteers, including controversial and extremist climate activist Greta Thunberg and Irish actor Liam Cunningham, set sail on the Madleen, carrying barrels of what the group called, "limited amounts, though symbolic", of relief supplies.
