"More than 50 ships are heading to Gaza to challenge Israel's illegal blockade and deliver urgent humanitarian aid. A global fleet of boats is preparing to set sail for Gaza as part of an international maritime initiative aimed at delivering humanitarian aid to starving people in Gaza. The first convoy, consisting of dozens of small civilian vessels carrying activists, humanitarians, doctors, seafarers, and humanitarian supplies, is scheduled to depart from Spanish ports on August 31,"
"Organisers describe the Global Sumud Flotilla as the largest maritime mission to Gaza, bringing together more than 50 ships and delegations from at least 44 countries. According to the Global Sumud Flotilla, delegations from 44 countries have already committed to sail to Gaza as part of the largest maritime mission to break Israel's illegal siege. Countries from six continents will be taking part in the flotilla, including countries such as Australia, Brazil, South Africa and numerous European states."
"This mission is organised by four major coalitions, including groups that have participated in previous land and sea efforts to Gaza: Global Movement to Gaza (GMTG) Formerly known as Global March to Gaza, is a grassroots movement organising global solidarity actions to support Gaza and break the siege. Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) With 15 years of experience running sea missions, including past flotillas such as the Madleen and Handala, FFC provides hands-on advice, guidance, and operational support to current efforts to break the Gaza blockade."
