Saad was detained by Israeli forces.

According to Edhi, two nights were spent aboard a naval vessel under difficult conditions.

The Foreign Office said it condemned “in the strongest possible terms” what it described as the unlawful interception, detention, and reported mistreatment of humanitarian workers aboard the aid mission, and called for their immediate release.

The ministers strongly criticized Israel’s actions against civilian vessels and humanitarian activists, calling them “blatant violations of international law and international humanitarian law.”
