"Saif Abu Keshek is a Spanish-Swedish national of Palestinian origin who was abducted from the flotilla off Crete. He has been organizing Palestinian solidarity movements across Europe for more than 20 years."
"The Global Sumud Flotilla set sail from France, Spain, and Italy on April 12 with the aim of breaking an Israeli blockade of Gaza and bringing supplies to the devastated Palestinian territory."
"Gaza has been under an Israeli sea, land, and air blockade since 2005, and since October 7, 2023, Israel has tightened its control over what goes in and out of the enclave home to 2.3 million people."
Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Avila are the only two activists still held after being detained by Israel during a Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla. The flotilla, consisting of over 50 vessels, aimed to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza. The activists were intercepted in international waters near Greece. Abu Keshek, a Spanish-Swedish national of Palestinian origin, has been involved in Palestinian solidarity movements for over 20 years. Both activists are on a hunger strike but continue to drink water during their detention.
