Activists from across Europe have set sail in a bid to deliver aid to Gaza and challenge Israel's blockade. The Global Sumud Flotilla, which will link up with around 100 boats from across the Mediterranean, aims to raise awareness and deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged territory.
Around 20 French boats sailed out of Marseille to join the Global Sumud Flotilla. The flotilla will link up with boats from across the Mediterranean and head towards Gaza around 20 April. The mission aims to deliver humanitarian aid and raise awareness about the blockade. A similar flotilla in 2025 was intercepted by the Israeli navy. Despite past setbacks, organisers are determined to keep the issue in the public eye. The flotilla comes amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
