Gaza Aid Flotilla Faces Drone Harassment Near Crete A flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, including activist Yasemin Acar, is being harassed by drones near the island of Crete. The flotilla, which set sail on June 1st, aims to deliver food and medical supplies to Gaza, which has faced a blockade for over three months. Activists onboard have received death threats from US politicians and pro-Israel commentators. "There's a drone right above our heads," Acar says in a video posted online, "It's clearly a way to tire us out, to scare us." Despite the threats and harassment, the flotilla remains determined to reach Gaza and deliver much-needed aid. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and the challenges faced by those attempting to provide humanitarian assistance.
