A ship carrying activist Greta Thunberg and others to Gaza to deliver aid turned around shortly after departure, citing “unsafe weather conditions.”
Thunberg sought to travel from Barcelona as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a group of vessels from multiple countries seeking to provide aid to Gaza. Actor Liam Cunningham, best known for his role in Game of Thrones, was among the volunteers joining this expedition.
However, the voyage was short-lived, as the flotilla returned to avoid “risking complications” with the small ships amid the weather.
“Facing over 30 knot winds and the unpredictable nature of the Mediterranean, we made this decision to prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants and to safeguard the success of our mission,” Global Sumud Flotilla posted on X.

No new date was given for the resumption of the voyage.
Thunberg’s first attempt to enter Gaza this year ended with her and two others being deported from Israel, with nine others refusing deportation. President Donald Trump said his “primary recommendation” for the leftist activist is “anger management” classes. Thunberg is best known for her progressive activism demanding action on climate change.
