Aid ship attacked by Israeli drones

On May 2, 2025, at 12:23 a.m. Maltese time, the FreedomFlotilla ship 'Conscience' was subjected to a Israeli drone attack. The front of the vessel was targeted twice, resulting in a fire and a breach in the hull. The ship is currently located in international waters near Malta. An SOS distress signal was sent. The drone strike appeared to have deliberately targeted the ship’s generator, leaving the crew without power and placing the vessel at great risk of sinking. The attack took place as the ship was preparing for activists to board from another vessel. A transfer at sea had been planned rather than the ship going to harbour, for bureaucratic reasons. By 2:13 a.m. all 30 crew members were confirmed safe but refused to board a Maltese tug. The ship remained outside territorial waters, and the fire was brought under control with assistance of the tug.

NGO IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation acquired three ships for convoy to Gaza

The Turkish NGO IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation has decided to acquire three ships and launch a relief convoy to Gaza. The IHH currently operates relief voyages from Turkey to Egypt for cross-border transport into Gaza, but this new mission is advertised as an all-water route. The IHH has acquired three vessels for its "Freedom Flotilla," reflagged them and changed their names. It is planning to depart for Gaza by the end of April with the freighter 'Anadolu' (ex 'Dalya H'), the 'Vicdan' (ex 'The Majestic', 'Kloar Kimming) and the 'Akdeniz' (ex 'Prince'), actually berthed at the Desan Yardgem United Shipyards in Tuzla. The NGO has launched a fundraising appeal to help pay for the vessels and their cargo.
