SHOTLIST WILL FOLLOW - ATHENS, GREECE (OCTOBER 6, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL)ATHENS, GREECE - OCTOBER 6: Swedish activist Greta Thunberg who was detained following Israel’s raid on the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters was welcomed in the Greek capital city of Athens on Monday, Oct. 6. Thunberg arrived in Athens along with Greek nationals who were also detained by Israel after participating in the flotilla. The flotilla, made up of activists from various nations, had set sail to challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza when it was attacked by Israeli forces in international waters last week. Israeli naval forces attacked and seized vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla, beginning on Wednesday, detaining more than 470 activists from over 50 countries. The flotilla was trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel’s blockade of the enclave. Israel has maintained the blockade of Gaza, home to nearly 2.4 million people, for almost 18 years. Since October 2023, Israeli military operations have killed more than 67,000 Palestinians in Gaza — most of them women and children. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave all but uninhabitable, with widespread starvation and the spread of disease.
