At sunrise in Gaza, fifteen years ago, a group of fishermen prepared their nets to set sail. Restricted to six nautical miles from shore by the recently imposed and illegal Israeli naval blockade, members of the Abu Bakr family, a fisherfolk clan from Al Shaati refugee camp, spoke of the sea as giver and taker of life. It was weeks after the Cast Lead bombardment had stopped, a brief pause post massacre. We had accompanied Gazan ambulance services, working alongside committed and courageous paramedics as they responded to the devastation.

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.
