While the Israeli government has characterised the flotilla as a "selfie yacht", Thunberg has pushed back against that criticism, telling the BBC on Sunday: "I don't think anyone would risk their life for a publicity stunt."

International aid agencies have been attempting to get food and medicine into the Palestinian territory but note Israel is restricting the flow of supplies.

I liked the way you added to note that Israel is restricting the flow of supplies because I think that is information needed in order to not misinterpret the claim. You could update the post with information about how Greta was captured and released by the IOF. Here is this article that dives into deeper detail about how there are still accusations that this is "fake news".
