Climate activist Greta Thunberg says she will be joining another flotilla to Gaza, after she was previously detained and deported from Israel earlier this year.
“On August 31st we are launching the biggest attempt ever to break the illegal Israeli siege over Gaza with dozens of boats sailing from Spain,” she writes on Instagram. “We will meet dozens more on September 4th sailing from Tunisia and other ports. We are also mobilizing more than 44 countries on simultaneous demonstrations and actions to break complicity in solidarity with the Palestinian people!”
Called the “Global Sumud Flotilla,” it is slated to also include Brazilian national Thiago Avila, who took part in the earlier flotilla attempt.
In June, a boat Thunberg and Avila were on was seized by Israeli authorities and towed to Ashdod. Thunberg and everyone else on board were ultimately deported from Israel.
