The Global Sumud Flotilla, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, has reported that a second vessel has been "attacked" by a drone while it was docked in Tunisian waters.

This is the second attack reported by the Flotilla in 48 hours.

According to the organizers, the ship 'Alma', which was sailing under the British flag, has suffered damage due to the subsequent fire on the upper deck. However, they explain that there are no injuries and that both the crew and passengers are "out of danger."

The Global Sumud Flotilla has stated that these events are "an orchestrated attempt to distract and frustrate" the mission, but have assured that they will continue "without wavering."

"Our peaceful journey to break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza and maintain unbreakable solidarity with its people is moving forward with determination," the organizers said.
