by Israeli naval vessels on Thursday,
while still in international waters. Sev-

pants. Among the detainees are Nelson
Mandela's grandson, Mandla Mandela;
South African author Zukiswa Wanner;
and political activist Greta Thunberg
After more than two years of war, nearly

conditions caused by the Israeli block-
ade, according to the United Nations
Israel denies these allegations.
