Activists on board Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla, carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists, have claimed it has been the target of another drone attack.

Members of the crew say they heard explosions and saw multiple drones that targeted some of their boats, currently situated off Greece.

The flotilla organisers said late on Tuesday that they had heard explosions and that '15 to 16 drones' had been spotted.

It comes as Israel said on Monday it would not allow the boats to reach Gaza.

'Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed and explosions heard from a number of boats,' the Global Sumud Flotilla said in a statement.
