Amnesty – Middle East Monitor

Human rights group Amnesty International today denounced Israel’s interception of an aid ship attempting to break Tel Aviv’s siege on Gaza as a “violation of international law.”

“Madleen, launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), was seeking to bring humanitarian aid in an attempt to breach Israel’s illegal blockade of the occupied Gaza Strip. It was carrying unarmed civilians on a humanitarian mission,” Amnesty Secretary General, Agnes Callamard, said on X.
