View from boat cameras of the humanitarian aid Sumud flotilla as boats sail towards Gaza. Dozens of boats in the flotilla have declared a state of emergency as they brace for interception by Israeli naval forces as they look to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military is expected to begin intercepting the vessels within an hour, according to activists on board, who say the navy blockade is around 10 miles from the flotilla. More than 500 activists, including Greta Thunberg, are on board around 45 boats carrying aid through the Mediterranean Sea for more than one month, looking to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza as the enclave remains in the grip of widespread hunger.
