Videos of the reported attack show a flash and then the top deck of the British flagged Alma boat catching fire. This comes just a day after another similar strike on another boat that's carrying many leaders of the movement. The flotilla is made up of dozens of ships and participants from some 44 countries, including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg. They say they're determined to deliver aid to Gaza by sea as Israel continues its offensive against Hamas there. Israel has so far not responded to NPR's repeated requests for comment on the reported drone attacks on the boats. In a press release, the flotilla organisers called this a orchestrated attempt to distract and derail our mission. Ruth Sherlock, NPR News, Rome.
