Israel is illegally boarding the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. The humanitarian Flotilla was sailing to Gaza on a peaceful mission, in compliance with international law, to deliver humanitarian aid and put an end to the illegal Israeli siege in Gaza.

Last night, the Global Sumud Flotilla was under attack. But the crew is more determined than ever to stop the illegal Israeli humanitarian blockade and deliver humanitarian aid. We demand safe passage for the flotilla, the full suspension of the EU-Israeli agreement, and the end to the genocide.
