Climate activist Greta Thunberg received a warm welcome in Greece after returning from a high-profile mission to support Gaza. According to reports, Thunberg greeted by cheering crowd in Athens after Israel expels flotilla activists, marking her first public appearance since the incident.
Thunberg was part of a humanitarian flotilla that set sail to deliver aid to Gaza but was intercepted by Israeli forces last week. The activists, including Thunberg, were briefly detained before being expelled from Israel. Their mission aimed to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to call for unrestricted aid access to the region.
As Thunberg greeted by cheering crowd in Athens after Israel expels flotilla activists, hundreds of supporters gathered at the airport, waving flags and holding banners that read βFreedom for Gazaβ and βThank you, Greta.β Many praised her courage and activism for both environmental and human rights causes.
Thunberg addressed the crowd briefly, expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza and urging the international community to take stronger action. She emphasized that her participation in the flotilla was part of a broader struggle for justice, peace, and climate responsibility.
Israeli authorities said the flotilla violated security regulations, justifying their decision to prevent it from reaching Gaza. However, human rights organizations criticized the move, arguing that humanitarian aid efforts should not be obstructed.
Observers note that Thunberg greeted by cheering crowd in Athens after Israel expels flotilla activists highlights how the 21-year-old Swedish activist continues to expand her advocacy beyond climate change. Her recent involvement in pro-Palestinian actions has sparked both praise and controversy.
Thunbergβs return to Athens underscores the growing link between global youth movements for climate justice and calls for peace and human rights in conflict zones.
