Rough Seas Once Again Prevent Global Sumud Flotilla From Sailing to Gaza
Nearly 1,000 activists from 44 countries sail from Mediterranean ports after three months of preparation to challenge the Israeli blockade and deliver aid to Gaza's 2 million residents.
- On Monday, the March to Gaza Greece organization announced it will join the Global Sumud Flotilla with a vessel departing Syros, carrying aid collected at a Propylaea concert and planning a solidarity concert on September 7.
- After more than three months of preparation, organizers launched the Global Sumud Flotilla to break Israel's naval blockade and deliver aid, with vessels from Spain and Italy joining ships in Tunisia en route to Gaza.
- Organizers report nearly 1,000 activists from 44 countries, including Greta Thunberg and Ada Colau, join over 50 ships, while rough seas forced five of the 30 boats that departed Barcelona to turn back.
- Organizers say the mission seeks to deliver humanitarian aid to the nearly 2 million people in Gaza, while Genoa dockworkers warned they would block all of Europe if boats were assaulted or contact lost.
- The group plans a solidarity concert in Syros on Sunday, September 7, while dozens of boats join on September 4, but organizers warn weather and sabotage could delay reaching Gaza.
