An aid ship with 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, has reached the Egyptian coast and is nearing Gaza, that’s according to organizers speaking to AFP on Saturday. The Madleen, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, left Sicily last week with a cargo of relief supplies aiming "to break Israel's blockade on Gaza". European parliament member Rima Hassan, who is also on board the vessel, urged governments to "guarantee safe passage for the Freedom Flotilla."
