Global Sumud Flotilla reports drone strike, which Tunisia has denied

# The Global Sumud Flotilla says its vessel, the ‘Family Boat’, was struck by a suspected drone off Tunisia’s Sidi Bou Said port today. All six on board, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, were unharmed. Tunisian authorities have dismissed the claims, saying a fire broke out, caused by ignited life jackets. The flotilla says the vessel was struck in Tunisian waters, causing damage to the main deck. The initiative, supported by activists from 44 countries, including South Africa, vowed to continue its mission to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
