@middleeasteye: “If we have any sense of humanity left, we cannot just sit by and watch this unfolding.” Activist and Global Sumud Flotilla steering committee member Greta Thunberg told Middle East Eye the inaction of governments worldwide over Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza has forced civilians to take action, as they “simply have no choice.” “When our governments and those in power fail to step up, it falls on us as human beings to step up and take that responsibility,” Thunberg emphasised. Thunberg is set to sail to Gaza on 31 August, along with dozens of other activists from more than 40 countries, to break Israel’s illegal siege of the strip and open a humanitarian corridor.
