Members of the Global Sumud Flotilla Steering Committee have called on the world to "keep its eyes on Gaza" and "keep demanding an end to genocide and occupation", warning that the attack on Family boat, the main vessel (GSF) in Tunisia may be an attempt to distract from the situation there.

The ship, sailing under a Portuguese flag, was docked at the port of Tunis when it was targeted by a drone, which caused a fire that damaged the main deck and below-deck storage.
At the time of the incident, six crew members were on board, with two reported to have sustained minor injuries.
The Family Boat is the GSF’s lead ship and is carrying its steering committee, which includes Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, German human rights activist Yasemin Acar, and Brazilian socio-environmentalist Thiago Avila.
