An aid ship bound for Gaza, the Conscience, was reportedly attacked by drones near Malta, sustaining damage and losing power.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, operating the vessel, blames Israel for the attack and is negotiating with Malta for repairs.
Malta has offered assistance, contingent upon verifying the ship's humanitarian cargo before allowing repairs at sea.
The incident highlights the ongoing conflict's devastating impact on Gaza, where a blockade has created a humanitarian crisis.
