On Friday morning, the humanitarian vessel "Conscience," operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and carrying 16 individuals, was hit by explosions in the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Malta. A representative from the human rights group stated that the ship was delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza which had stopped in Malta to pick up additional passengers, including activist Greta Thunberg, before resuming its journey. The crew was confirmed safe after a tugboat arrived to extinguish the flames and assist the vessel in an international waters crisis. While the cause of the explosion remains unknown, it raises concerns about the security of humanitarian missions in the region, and authorities are currently evaluating the ship's condition and its ability to dock in Malta.
