Greta Thunberg's flotilla bound for Gaza has descended into chaos after pro-Palestine activists quit the convoy when they learnt LGBTQ+ campaigners were on board, it has been claimed.

The 22-year-old Swedish eco-protestor has also reportedly left her leadership role due to disagreements among organisers, but she will stay onboard as a participant volunteer.

On September 1, around 20 vessels displaying Palestinian flags and carrying some 350 pro-Palestinian activists departed from Barcelona.

Two weeks later, the convoy stopped off for a few days in Tunisia to pick up more activists and humanitarian supplies before it set sail again.

The Global Sumud Flotilla's (GSF) stated mission is to 'break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza' and deliver aid supplies to Palestinians.
