At least 73 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza as the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying international activists attempted to approach the besieged enclave. The humanitarian mission, aimed at delivering aid and drawing attention to Gaza’s crisis, faced interception by Israeli forces. Several activists, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, were reportedly detained during the operation. The developments intensified global concerns over escalating violence, with mounting civilian casualties, maritime confrontations, and protests worldwide. The flotilla’s advance highlighted both the urgency of Gaza’s humanitarian situation and the widening scope of international solidarity and political tensions. (PC: Reuters)
