Global Sumud Flotilla to set sail for Gaza again

Moment Israeli military storms Gaza aid flotilla vessels
  • The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) has announced its largest mission to date, aiming to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza by both land and sea.
  • About 3,000 participants from over 100 countries are expected to set sail for the Gaza Strip on 29 March.
  • The mission, described as a "nonviolent effort," will include medical professionals, eco-builders, and war crimes investigators, departing from various Mediterranean ports.
  • A large humanitarian land convoy, carrying medical aid and food, is also planned to join the sea mission.
  • This initiative follows a previous GSF mission last October, where nearly 500 activists, including Greta Thunberg, were arrested after their boats were intercepted by the Israeli military.
