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.
Organisers stated that “the first ship of the Global Sumud Flotilla has left Tunisia bound for Gaza.” Activists and journalists observed the vessels’ departure.
Activists aboard the vessel Marinette waved as they set off, while others carried the flags of Algeria and Poland. Organisers said additional ships are expected to depart from Tunisia, with delays attributed to poor weather and logistical challenges.
The flotilla comprises 500 to 700 activists from over 45 countries, including artists, parliamentarians, and public figures, such as Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and Portuguese politician Mariana Mortagua. According to the GSF website, the flotilla is primarily made up of small, nonviolent vessels sailing in coordination to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Organisers emphasised that the mission aims to provide humanitarian assistance and establish a corridor for aid deliveries.
On Saturday, it was reported that one of the GSF vessels was targeted by a drone strike in Tunisia. Organisers described the attack as a disruption to the mission. The Israeli military has not commented on the incident.
