LONDON -- The Israeli Foreign Ministry said early Monday that Israeli forces had boarded and diverted a privately owned ship carrying Swedish human rights activist Greta Thunberg and several others, who said they were attempting to bring humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

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.

Israeli forces seized the Gaza-bound Madleen early on Monday morning. The entertainment world has responded to the action, which saw activists including Greta Thunberg attempt to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis.
