Several activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla have accused Israeli forces of mistreatment following the interception of the fleet. Among the allegations are claims that Israel provided little food and water to the detainees and placed them in cells “infested with bugs.”
One activist recounted a particularly distressing incident, stating, “They dragged little Greta by her hair.”
The Global Sumud Flotilla included prominent activists such as Swedish environmental advocate Greta Thunberg and Brazilian activist Thiago Avila. Both were aboard a vessel en route to Israel when their group was intercepted.
The image released on October 2, 2025, shows Greta Thunberg and Thiago Avila seated on the vessel during their journey as part of the flotilla.
