Gaza flotilla says drone attack caused fire on ship, Tunisia denies claim

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) says a drone has struck its main ship, the Family Boat, in Tunisia, causing a fire. It says all passengers and crew are safe. It has released video, verified by Al Jazeera, that shows an incendiary device falling on the ship and causing an explosion. But the Tunisian National Guard says no drone was detected near the ship. The Family Boat is among dozens preparing to travel to Gaza, to break the Israeli blockade on the Palestinian enclave, where a famine has been declared. A number of prominent politicians and activists are participating in the flotilla, including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and the former mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau. Four Italian parliamentarians are also set to join. Al Jazeera’s Alex Baird reports.
