the Freedom Flotilla Coalition attempted to organize a blockade run to get food to Gaza's shores. Their plan was to bring dozens of activists aboard the Conscience - including the climate activist Greta Thunberg - and set sail from Malta with an aid cargo. On Friday, as the passengers were gathering in Malta and preparing to board, two blasts hit the ship, damaging the hull and disabling a generator. Video from aboard the ship showed a blast hole in the foredeck and smoke throughout the vessel's interior; crewmembers reported that the ship was taking on water at the bow.
