The Global Sumud Flotilla, an international aid mission to Gaza, was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters, with activists detained and ships redirected to Israeli ports. Human rights groups allege detainees faced abuse, including beatings, humiliation, denial of medical care, and sexual violence.

During the latest interception, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir filmed himself taunting zip-tied detainees at the Port of Ashdod, prompting international condemnation.

Joining us today on Arab Talk is environmental activist Violet Coco, one of eleven Australians aboard the flotilla. She says detainees suffered serious injuries and were denied essential medications while in custody.
