Madrid, MINA – A Spanish member of the European Parliament strongly condemned an Israeli attack on a humanitarian aid ship en route to Gaza, which took place in international waters off the coast of Malta on Friday, Anadolu Agency reported.
“As a member of the European Parliament and of the delegation for Palestine, I condemn the attack on the international flotilla by Israel in international waters,” said Ana Miranda Paz in a statement to Anadolu Agency.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the organizer of the mission, reported that the aid ship carrying 16 people was targeted by drone strikes while attempting to deliver much-needed humanitarian supplies to Gaza.
The incident comes amid growing concern over the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave, where aid groups have warned of widespread suffering due to a two-month Israeli blockade. []
