Italy has sent a second navy ship in support of the international aid flotilla that has come under suspected Israeli drone attack while trying to deliver aid to Gaza, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said on Thursday. The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) is using about 50 civilian boats to try and break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza. Many lawyers and activists, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, are on board. “We have sent one ship and another is on its way, ready for any eventuality,” Crosetto said in a speech to the lower house of parliament.
