A French doctor, Dr. André, has made serious allegations of mistreatment by Israeli authorities against passengers aboard a Gaza-bound aid boat, including prominent climate activist Greta Thunberg. The boat was intercepted by Israeli forces, and Dr. André claims passengers faced mockery, sleep deprivation, and inadequate resources during their detention.

Thunberg herself has condemned the incident, describing her detention as a violation of human rights. She joined other passengers in speaking out against the conditions they experienced. Meanwhile, the Israeli government has dismissed the aid voyage as a publicity stunt, reiterating its defense of the blockade on Gaza.

The conflicting accounts highlight the ongoing tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the access of humanitarian aid to Gaza. The incident has sparked renewed debate over the legality and ethical implications of the Israeli blockade.

Dr. André’s report of mistreatment provides a first-hand account supporting Thunberg’s claims. The details of these alleged human rights violations have yet to be independently verified, but the incident is generating significant international attention and prompting calls for investigation.
