Israeli army stopped the ship taking relief aid in Gaza
Tel Aviv: The Israeli army has stopped a relief aid ship going to Gaza by trying to break the blockade of Palestinian region. During this time, the army has also taken 21 human rights activists and journalists into custody. The pro -Palestine group ‘Freedom Floral Colation’ has given information about this on Sunday. The group reported that the Israeli army has seized all the goods including milk, food items and medicines for baby use laden on the ship.
‘Israeli army used force’
The group operating the ship ‘Handala’ said that the Israeli army, just 40 miles away from Gaza, cut the ship in the international water sector using ‘force’ and cut its communication network. The group said in a statement, “The entire goods laden on the ship were for non-monetary use, it was to directly distribute the population struggling with starvation and medical crisis due to Israeli’s illegal blockade.”
What did the Israeli Foreign Ministry say?
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a post on ‘X’ in the early hours of Sunday that the Navy stopped the ship and bringing it to the coast. This is the second ship operating by the group that Israel has prevented relief assistance in Gaza in recent months, where food experts have been warning the threat of famine for months.
Things are deteriorating in Gaza
The ship has been stopped at a time when Israel is facing international criticism for the deteriorating human situation in Gaza. Due to Israeli sanctions on relief aid, concern about increasing starvation in this area is increasing. A regional human rights group, Adalah, said that the stop of the ship is a violation of international law. It demanded immediate release of those detained on the ship.
‘The ship did not enter the Israeli water area’
“This ship had never entered the Israeli water sector, nor was it intended to do so. It was moving towards the water area of Palestine, as is recognized under international law. “It said,” Israel has no legal rights or jurisdiction over the international water sector that was passing. “(AP).
