A civilian ship carrying aid to Palestinians in Gaza was intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters on Saturday, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirmed.
The boat was said to carry humanitarian aid, including baby formula, diapers, and food.
The ship launched from Italy five days ago carrying humanitarian aid desperately needed by Gaza’s starving population.
The Israeli military intercepted and seized the Gaza Freedom Flotilla vessel The Handala late Saturday night local time as it attempted to deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid to the besieged people of Gaza.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) announced Thursday that it has lost contact with the "Handala," a ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza as part of the group's mission to break Israel's blockade. “All communications with the Handala's crew have been jammed,” the coalition said in a statement posted on its official Telegram channel.
