Greta Thunberg landed in Athens on Monday, October 6, alongside 160 other nationals from 16 European countries expelled to Greece by Israel for taking part in a Gaza aid flotilla, Agence France-Presse (AFP) journalists saw.
The 22-year-old Swedish climate campaigner had been among hundreds of people who had been on the 45-vessel flotilla that had unsuccessfully tried to break through an Israeli blockade to deliver aid to Gaza. The United Nations says famine has taken hold in that Palestinian territory after two years of devastating war.
