The Conscience, an aid ship en route to Gaza, suffered damage from a drone attack near Malta, raising international concerns.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, accusing Israel of the attack, is negotiating with Malta to allow repairs and continue its mission.
Malta's offer of assistance is conditional on verification of the ship's humanitarian cargo due to the sensitive political context.
This incident underscores the complex humanitarian crisis in Gaza, worsened by a blockade and the ongoing conflict; many have died.
