Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell infested with bedbugs'

"an official who has visited the activist in prison said she claimed she was detained in a cell infested with bedbugs, with too little food and water. The embassy has been able to meet with Greta, reads the email. She informed of dehydration. She has received insufficient amounts of both water and food. She also stated that she had developed rashes which she suspects were caused by bedbugs. She spoke of harsh treatment and said she had been sitting for long periods on hard surfaces."

"Thunberg is among 437 activists, parliamentarians and lawyers who are part of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), a coalition of more than 40 vessels carrying humanitarian aid whose goal was to breach Israel's 16-year maritime blockade of Gaza. Between Thursday and Friday, Israeli forces intercepted all the boats and arrested every crew member onboard. Most of them are being held at Ketziot, also known as Ansar III, a high-security prison in the Negev desert."
