Two Greek-flagged ships departed Syros on Sunday evening to join the Global Sumud Flotilla, an international mission aimed at breaking Israel’s blockade of Gaza and delivering humanitarian supplies.
Around 500 people gathered at Ermopoulis port on Sunday to see off the Oxygen and Ilektra, two Greek-flagged vessels carrying goods for Gaza and five and eight crew members respectively.
Kostas Fourikos, a crew member, said the mission aimed to show Israel “it shouldn’t have the right to impose starvation” and to express solidarity with Palestinians suffering under the blockade. Fellow crew member Angeliki Savvantoglou said the flotilla also seeks to pressure governments to stop supporting Israel.
The fleet intends to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the United Nations declared famine in August affecting around one million people. Israel denies the existence of famine in the Strip.
The pro-Palestinian Sumud flotilla, supported by figures including activist Greta Thunberg, describes itself as independent and not affiliated with any government or political party. The Arabic word “Sumud” means “resilience.”
The mission has faced challenges, including suspected drone attacks near Tunisia. Savvantoglou said the crew is prepared for potential risks but emphasized that the dangers of the mission pale compared to life in Gaza.
Earlier in July, demonstrations in Syros, Rhodes, and Crete sought to prevent an Israeli cruise ship from docking, reflecting continuing opposition to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
