Greta Thunberg has left Barcelona with the largest flotilla of boats carrying aid to Gaza. The 22-year-old activist was cheered by thousands of supporters waving Palestinian flags as she departed on Sunday. The flotilla includes activists from 44 countries and aims to deliver aid and push for a humanitarian corridor. Thunberg said the mission challenges an unjust system and shows solidarity with Gaza. Israel has long enforced a naval blockade, saying it is needed to stop weapons from reaching Hamas. Previous aid attempts, including one by Thunberg in June, were blocked by Israeli forces. More ships will join from Europe. (PC: Sky News)
