Israel has intercepted a Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg and other prominent activists, detaining those onboard, with the vessel being taken to Israel.

A Gaza-bound boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other international activists was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters. The group was attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians as part of a protest flotilla.

The almost 20 months of war has torn Gaza apart, often displacing residents multiple times and killing more than 54,000 people, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreed in January collapsed in March as Israel enforced a blockade on all humanitarian aid into the strip.
