CLAIMS that Greta Thunberg's Gaza-bound flotilla has been hit by a drone "have no basis in truth".

Tunisian authorities have hit back at the activist's allegations, in which she has insisted her boat has come under attack.

In a dramatic video posted by fellow activist Yasemin Acar, she said: "The Family boat has been officially attacked – a drone came right above it, released a bomb, and it exploded, and the boat was on fire".

"Everyone on that boat is ok. The fire is out," she added.

The video posted to social media shows the aftermath of the fire.

Houcem Eddine Jebabli, a spokesperson from the Tunisian National Guard, said: "No drones have been detected".

"According to preliminary findings, a fire broke out in the life jackets on board," he added.

The claims were further dismissed
