...SAO PAULO, BRAZIL - MAY 10, 2025: Brazilian activist, who survived an attack on a Gaza-bound aid ship off the coast of Malta, was greeted by supporters upon his return to Brazil on Saturday (May 10). Thiago Villa was part of a humanitarian mission aiming to deliver aid to Gaza when the vessel came under assault in international waters. The Conscience, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, caught fire after reportedly being struck by drones early Friday while carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. The Maltese government confirmed the fire was contained with the help of a nearby tugboat and that all 12 crew members and four civilians on board were safe, although they refused to abandon the ship. The vessel remains in international waters under monitoring. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition blamed Israel for the attack, calling for Israeli ambassadors to be summoned over what it described as violations of international law, including the blockade and the bombing of the civilian ship.
