The Madleen Tracker is a live GPS tracking tool developed by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition to monitor the journey of the humanitarian ship Madleen, which aims to break the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. The tracker allows supporters and the general public to follow the vessel’s route in real-time, providing transparency and accountability to the mission.
The Madleen set sail from Sicily on June 1, 2025, carrying essential supplies such as medical aid, baby formula, and prosthetic limbs for the people of Gaza. The mission gained international attention due to the involvement of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and other prominent figures. The tracker became a focal point for those concerned about the mission’s progress and the safety of its crew.
On June 4, 2025, the Madleen was intercepted by Israeli naval forces approximately 185 kilometers from Gaza in international waters. The vessel was boarded and redirected to the port of Ashdod in Israel. All 12 passengers, including Thunberg, were detained but reported to be unharmed. The incident sparked widespread international condemnation and raised questions about the legality of the interception in international waters.
The Madleen Tracker provides real-time updates on the vessel’s location, allowing users to monitor its journey. The tracker is accessible via the Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s official website and has been widely shared on social media platforms. Despite the interception, the tracker continued to function, offering a digital testament to the mission’s objectives and the challenges faced by the crew.
The seizure of the Madleen and the subsequent detention of its crew have elicited reactions from various international bodies and governments. The United Nations has called for clarification from the United Kingdom, as the ship was flying the UK’s red ensign flag, suggesting British jurisdiction. Activists and supporters have used the Madleen Tracker to organize protests and raise awareness about the situation, highlighting the role of digital tools in modern activism.
The Madleen Tracker not only served as a tool for monitoring the mission but also became a symbol of the intersection between technology and activism. As the situation develops, the tracker continues to be a point of reference for those advocating for humanitarian aid access to Gaza and the rights of activists to operate freely in international waters.
