The United Nations Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Palestine, Francesca Albanese, called on Tuesday September 9 to provide “urgent protection” to the remaining ships of the world resistance flotilla.
In a message published on the X platform, Albanese said that the main ship of the flotilla had been targeted by a drone when it was moored at the port of Sidi Bou Saïd, in Tunisia. She insisted on the need to ensure immediate protection for two other ships on the way to Tunisia to reach the flotilla.
According to the Flotilla activists, the Spanish ship Family would also have been the target of a drone, information denied by the Ministry of the Interior and the Tunisian National Guard.
Recall that the Ministry of the Interior denied this Tuesday, September 9, any drone attack aimed at a boat on the international flotilla for Gaza, moored at the port of Sidi Bou Saïd. According to the official version, the flames that damaged the ship would be due to “an accidental fire start, probably caused by a cigarette”.
