Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is preparing to leave for Gaza later this week, riding in a humanitarian aid vessel, a bold and controversial journey aimed at challenging the ongoing Israeli blockade, which the critics have hungry to citizens and submerged Gaza.The 22 -year -old is part of the ship Madellen, Freedom Flotila alliance (FFC) on Sunday from Catania, Sicily on Sunday, along with other international activists. Their mission is to provide significant assistance and to draw global attention to the deteriorating human crisis in Gaza.“The world may not be silent,” Thunberg said in a statement about the mission. “This silence and inactivity that we are seeing from most parts of the world is fatal. We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. Each of us has a moral obligation to do everything to fight for an independent Palestine. ,The World Health Organization has recently warned that Gaza is on the verge of famine, its 75% of its population is facing “emergency” or “frightening” food insecurity. The FFC aims to relieve and challenge the blockade of the months implemented by Israel, which has faced growing international criticism.Call for backlash and ‘one-way ticket’Despite the human nature of the journey, Thunberg is found with a edge of criticism online and international media.Sky News Australia host Dannica de Giorgio said, “She is sailing for Gaza, as if it is some kind of delightful holiday destination.”“He is really annoying all the time,” said de Giorgio. Another commentator, Pru McSwen said, “She herself is an urban terrorist, she will fit in the right. Let’s just hope that she lives there. ,On social media, many users resonated similar feelings, “Let’s hope it is a way” and “I hope she lives in Gaza.”High-profile passenger and last attackApart from this, the “Game of Thrones” actor Liam Cunningham and a Member of European Parliament Reema Hasan, who joined the Thunberg on Madelleen. The journey last month follows another FFC vessel, a failed attempt by conscience, allegedly killed by drone in international water near Malta. The group blamed Israel for the attack, although the Israeli government has not confirmed the responsibility.FFC’s efforts have attracted both praise and investigation over the years, often seen as a civil disobedience challenging the validity and morality of the Gaza blockade.
