Israel has intercepted a Gaza-bound aid boat and has detained the 12 people on board including the Swedish activist, Greta Thunberg.
The Israeli foreign ministry says they are now being taken to the Port of Ashdod in Israel.
The vessel was launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.
It was about 185km (100 nautical miles) from the Gaza coast when it was blocked by Israeli forces, who boarded and detained the crew.
Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh has more from the Jordanian capital Amman. She’s there because the Israeli government have banned Al Jazeera from reporting inside Israel and the occupied West Bank.
