Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Palestine, has questioned why the powerful naval forces of states cannot do what ordinary people in small boats are managing to achieve by reaching Gaza. Al Jazeera reported this on Thursday (October 2). She made the remarks as human rights activists from around the world set sail toward Gaza on dozens of boats carrying humanitarian aid.
