From aboard a flotilla bound for Gaza, Greta Thunberg told Middle East Eye that while governments had failed Palestinians, it fell “on us to step up and be the adults in the room”.
The prominent Swedish climate activist spoke to MEE’s live show from international waters in the Mediterranean Sea, where she said spirits aboard the Madleen - the latest vessel attempting to break Israel's siege on Gaza - were high.
“We are currently on our way towards Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla mission,” Thunberg said on Tuesday. “Spirits are very high.”
She and 11 other activists set off from Sicily on Sunday, carrying urgent supplies for besieged and starving Palestinians.
