Right now: Israeli boats, drones launching chemical attack on humanitarian ship Madleen, trying to board

Chemical attacks and attempts to board. “Please make sure to be loud”, crew pleads with well-wishers to support, raise awareness

The Israeli military is right now conducting a chemical attack on the Gaza-bound humanitarian vessel Madleen and her crew, while Israeli troops in boats try to board the ship in international waters – an unequivocal war crime.

The crew are asking for supporters to ‘make noise’ and raise awareness:

🚨🚨🚨The Madleen is currently under assault in international waters. Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white irritant substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio.

The Gaza Freedom Flotilla.

As the volunteers have asked, make as much ‘noise’ as possible. Share widely, tag in every political leader.
