The Madleen, a ship carrying aid to Gaza, has docked in Ashdod after being intercepted by Israeli forces. Here's what we know about its crew.

The activists had set out to protest Israel’s ongoing military campaign in the Gaza Strip and its restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid, both of which have put the territory at risk of famine.

Passengers on the boat, arranged by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, included climate activist Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament.
