Activists coordinating under the Global Sumud Flotilla and Freedom Flotilla Coalition announced on 26 February that a fleet of up to 200 boats will depart on 12 April from several Mediterranean ports in a renewed bid to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza. “This is not only about delivering aid. It is about asserting the right of civilians to challenge the isolation of Gaza through peaceful means,” said Dilek Tekocak, speaking at a press conference in Istanbul’s Fatih district on behalf of the flotilla’s international coordination committee. “This initiative represents global civilian resistance,” Tekocak said, describing the effort as a peaceful mobilization against Israel’s unlawful blockade of Gaza that continues despite the ceasefire.

Rome, Italy — There will be a new flotilla in April 2026 that will attempt to break the 18-year-old Israeli blockade of Gaza. The mission is expected to be the largest maritime action for Palestine to date, involving more than 3,000 activists from 100 countries on 100 boats, including a medical fleet of 1,000 health care workers to deliver 500 tons of life-saving aid, equipment and medical supplies that Israel has blocked from entering Gaza. Once again, activists from all over the world will sail toward Gaza in an attempt to end one of the worst humanitarian crises on the planet.

Israel continues to break the ceasefire in Gaza and has escalated the vicious attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians and their land in the West Bank.

It was a great honor to join the “Conscience”, a large ship with 92 participants. We were mainly medics and journalists because we wanted to emphasize that these are the two professions most targeted during the genocide in Gaza. We wanted to show solidarity with our colleagues there. Almost all participants had direct links with people in Gaza through humanitarian work or Palestinian NGOs like Awda Association. Several doctors on board had worked in Gaza during the genocide, and many journalists were in touch with Palestinian citizen journalists and local news agencies. We wanted to reach Gaza to report and to offer medical assistance: that was the core message of the “Conscience”. Normally, in any conflict, humanitarian workers and journalists have access to document conditions and preserve the right to health.

Welcome To Hell, Remembrances Of Time In Israeli Prison

They loaded the bus with us and we sat there for a while without moving. "Don't take your blindfold off, they have a camera," someone observed. "They are recording everything we are saying," said another comrade. I recognized the voice of the activist sitting next to me. He was a big guy, well over six feet tall. I was squashed into the corner of the last row of the bus. I tried to sit sideways to get more room. The steel seats of the bus made that difficult. It was uncomfortable. At least they didn't zip tie my hands too tightly. It must have been well after midnight when the bus started moving. We were all tired. I dozed fitfully, the whine of the bus transmission in my ears.

The voyage went relatively well up until the interception. We sailed with the 1000 Madleens to Gaza flotilla so we spent some time catching up to them, waiting for them and then sailing with them. I met a couple of their people while we were in prison and at the hotel after we were released. They were good folks - and highly skilled sailors as well. The weather on the passage was mixed. We had a decent blow a couple of days in and seas were running a meter to a meter and a half. The medical staff used almost all of our seasickness medication during the week we were at sea but we never ran out. Fortunately, things calmed down for the last three days of the voyage. Generally, spirits ran high among the participants and I never felt like we were worried about the Israelis doing anything to us at all.

Israeli Occupation Continues Illegal Detention And Deportation Of Flotilla Volunteers

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) confirms that Israel continues to illegally imprison and abuse many international human rights defenders at Ktzi’ot Prison in the Naqab (Negev) desert. This follows the Israeli occupation’s illegal and violent attack and pirating of the FFC and Thousand Madleens to Gaza (TMTG) flotilla on October 8, 2025, 120 nautical miles (220 km) from Gaza in international waters, and the forcible transfer of nine vessels and 145 international volunteers from over 25 countries to Ashdod Port. Adalah attorneys continue to receive reports of aggressive and violent conduct by the Israeli forces during and following Israel’s unlawful interception of their vessels, as well as appalling detention conditions, including inadequate access to drinking water and in some instances, physical and verbal abuse. Hearings began without legal representation in a clear denial of access to legal counsel.

Adalah condemns Israel’s assault and unlawful interception of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s flagship vessel, the Conscience, and eight sailboats of the Thousands Madleens — a coordinated humanitarian initiative sailing together to confront Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza amid the ongoing genocide against Palestinians. Before losing all communication early this morning, participants aboard the Conscience — primarily doctors, nurses, and journalists — reported being attacked by an Israeli military helicopter, while Israeli naval forces simultaneously intercepted and boarded the Thousands Madleens sailboats. The vessels were located approximately 120 nautical miles from Gaza, deep in international waters, when the attack took place. According to Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the military is transporting participants to an Israeli port.

n the past three months, citizens around the world have participated in dramatic challenges to the horrific Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza with over 66,000 known dead and at least a hundred thousand souls under the rubble, most of whom are women and children. The genocide includes the destruction of virtually all food and food distribution systems, hospitals and clinics, schools and universities, water and sanitation facilities and a huge amount of the housing for 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza. For the past 18 years, the Gaza Freedom Flotilla Coalition has used ships to attempt to carry citizens from all over the world to Gaza in a non-violent challenge to the genocidal violence of the Israeli government and the illegal Israeli naval blockade of Gaza.

Activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla vow to continue their mission to set sail to Gaza, insisting nothing will stop them from breaking Israel’s blockade and bringing aid to Gaza. Members of the Flotilla have reported two suspected drone attacks on their boats while docked in Tunisian waters. Still, the first wave of Flotilla ships departed the Sidi Bou Said port in Tunisia where they were stationed on the night of September 11, and the rest are set to depart on September 12. “We know who has interest in stopping these flotillas, in stopping this mission to Gaza,” Mariana Mortágua, a member of the Portuguese Parliament who joined the Global Sumud Flotilla, told Democracy Now!, indicating that Israel had a role in the attacks on the ships.

A British veteran has joined the largest aid flotilla to Gaza in history and is calling on the Royal Air Force (RAF) to end its intelligence support to Israel. Malcolm Ducker, who served as a fighter pilot in the RAF between 1972 and 1979, is sailing with a flotilla of over 50 boats loaded with aid for Gaza. The initiative is being led by the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), a “coalition of everyday people… who believe in human dignity and the power of nonviolent action.” The first boats departed from Spanish ports on Sunday but were briefly delayed due to bad weather. More ships are set to join the flotilla in Tunisia in the coming days before arriving in Gaza in mid-September.

September 9, 2025 Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Educate! Freedom Flotilla, Gaza, Humanitarian Aid, Israel, Wars and Militarism

For the second time in three months, drones carrying explosives have attacked boats in the Gaza flotillas. I was in Malta when the “Conscience” ship was attacked by drones carrying explosives and I am now in Tunis where the “Familia” ship was attacked. Several hours ago in the evening of September 8, an explosive dropped from a drone hit “Familia, ”the lead ship of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) anchored in national Tunisian waters off Port causing a fire on the bow of the ship. There were 5 people onboard as the crew and security team. No one was injured. Five months previously, on May 1, 2025, multiple drones dropped explosives on the “Conscience” flotilla ship in international waters off Malta causing such extensive damage to the bow of the ship that it became inoperative.

Global Sumud Flotilla Advances Towards Tunisia Under ‘Harassment’ Of Surveillance Drones

The Global Sumud Flotilla is advancing towards Gaza and is already sailing towards Tunisia, divided into two large groups. Both expeditions will meet in Tunisia at the end of the week, when they will be joined by another twenty boats in what the organizers consider to be the “largest humanitarian mission in solidarity with Palestine.” Technical problems and bad weather have significantly delayed the flotilla’s schedule, which set sail on August 31 from Barcelona and has so far only been able to cover a handful of nautical miles. Harsh sea conditions forced several boats to be repaired, and after a particularly violent storm on Monday, September 1, the expedition was divided between the ports of Mahón (Menorca) and Barcelona.

Italian Dockworkers Prepared To Strike For The Global Sumud Flotilla

On August 31, 2025, the Global Sumud Flotilla set sail. This flotilla is the most recent and largest coalition of activists from around the world who have embarked to reach Gaza, breaking the siege and delivering humanitarian aid, by sea. Israeli officials have threatened that consequences for the activists will be worse than previous ventures, including detaining participants in prisons reserved for state-designated terrorists and seizing the ships to be turned into Israeli police assets. Amidst this escalation, Italian dockworkers in the Port of Genoa are prepared to go on strike to defend the flotilla in an act that would majorly disrupt global shipping. This act shows the decisive role that the working class has to play in the protection of the Flotilla, the defeat of Israel’s genocidal project in Gaza and the expansion of its occupation of the West Bank.
