Swedish activist Greta Thunberg is among those who will attempt to sail to Gaza on a boat organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), in a bid to break Israel's blockade of the Palestinian territory. Freedom Flotilla had to abort a previous journey in early May after it said its boat came under attack by drones in international waters near Malta. (Photo by Fabrizio Villa/Getty Images)
