Fifteen Turkish activists, who were detained by Israel aboard the Gaza-bound Global Sumud humanitarian aid flotilla, arrived at Istanbul Airport on Tuesday.
Swiss and Spanish activists from an international flotilla that attempted to deliver aid to Gaza last week said they were subjected to inhumane conditions during their detention by Israeli forces.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticised an aid flotilla intercepted off Gaza by the Israeli military, saying on Thursday the activists' mission and a strike called in their support in Italy would do nothing to help Palestinians.
Israeli forces have stopped 14 boats carrying foreign activists and aid bound for Gaza, but at least 23 boats are continuing to sail towards the war-ravaged Strip, flotilla organisers said on Thursday (2 October).
A flotilla of ships heading towards the Gaza Strip is preparing for a potential interception by Israeli forces, according to activists on board.
The first ships of the international aid initiative, the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), departed from Tunisia’s Bizerte port on Saturday, heading towards the Gaza Strip.
