The first serious consequence for the humanitarian flotilla Global Sumud that travels to Gaza occurred on Monday night in Tunisia. An explosive drone caused a fire on the family ship where Swedish activist Greta Thunberg goes. “It was clearly an attack aimed at a fuel tank that was not successful,” said Carlos Cascote Bertola, one of the Argentines who integrates the group of internationalists from the place.
Direct witness of the attack caused by the Netanyahu Benjamin regime, Cascotethe member of the flotilla who is also the son of disappeared, officiated of involuntary correspondent from the Tunisian port, to North Africa. Even those waters had arrived some ships advanceing others that will continue on their way to the strip through the Mediterranean in the next few hours.
Bertola lives in La Plata 25 years ago, militates in the city, integrated the direction of the CTD Aníbal Verón and also in the Children of the Buenos Aires capital. In the Capitanea Flotilla El Barco Estrella and Manuel, a Spanish fishing. Like another compatiota, Jorge González who is in front of the Isobellahe has the maximum responsibility on board and this time, for the attack he was the first to inform the attack.
The previous threats of Netanyahu himself and his Minister of National Security, the Jewish supremacist Itamar Ben Gvir, who described as “terrorists” the activists who travel on board, go in line with this first attack on the Global Sumud. The expedition of motor ships and sailboats of different bearing departed from Barcelona just over a week ago with the aim of creating a humanitarian corridor that takes help to Palestine, where the population of Gaza is being exterminated with continuous bombardments by the Israel government since October 2023. The other consequence suffered by gazaties is a famine deliberately deliberate by the blockade at the arrival of food and water. Victims for starvation.
Bertola completed his report saying that “we were on duty on the ship” and that “the fire was controlled by the captain.” The attack with the drone, whose consequences were filmed by a camera, was immediately spread by the international solidarity chain with Palestine, whose most forceful expression is the flotilla. “Bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza is not a crime, crime is to sustain a genocide about the Palestinian people,” he said on his Instagram account Cascotebarely produced the fact in Tunisian waters.
