Israel began to allow some basic assistance to Gaza last month after a total of three months blockade aimed at suppressing Hamas and preventing groups to import weapons.
But humanitarian workers have warned of starving unless there are at the end of the 20 -month block and war, which was lit by an attack led by Hamas in South Israel on October 7, 2023.
Last month’s efforts by Freedom Flotilla to reach Gaza in the sea failed after other ships from the group ships were attacked by two drones while sailing in international waters outside Malta.
The group blamed Israel for the attack, which damaged the front of the ship.
