Swedish climate champ Greta Thunberg touched down in Athens on Monday, fresh off a dramatic deportation by Israel. She was detained for joining an aid flotilla en route to Gaza, aiming to deliver much-needed supplies to civilians. 🛳️
Greta slammed the move as a violation of “global rules” designed to protect humanitarian efforts, while Israeli officials say they’ve respected participants’ rights and have so far deported 341 activists. 📈
This episode has ignited a wave of support from young activists across South and Southeast Asia—think Delhi’s youth climate marches and Jakarta’s #ActNow rallies—showing how interconnected our world is when it comes to justice and sustainability. 🌏✨
What’s next? Will Greta rally her global squad in Europe, or head back to Stockholm to refocus on climate policy? One thing’s certain: the conversation on humanitarian access and climate action just got a major boost. Stay tuned! 🔥
