An International Flotilla of Humanitarians Gathers to Support the People of Gaza

Plans are being made for the next “solidarity flotilla” to be sent from Turkey to the Gaza Strip, with activists from various countries taking part. Among them are intellectuals, journalists, former politicians, doctors, former military officers and lawyers from countries such as Turkey, Cuba, South Africa and the USA. The organizers include 77-year-old Anne Wright, Aleida Guevara, daughter of Ernesto Che Guevara and Zvevelilili “Mandla” Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela.

The launch of the flotilla has been delayed several times due to negotiations between Israel and Ankara through mediators to prevent its arrival. The participants carry 5,500 tons of humanitarian aid equivalent to 100 trucks to help those in need in Gaza. Discussions are underway for a plan where the humanitarian aid will be unloaded in Egypt’s El-Arish port and delivered to Gaza after inspection.

The flotilla consists of three ships including a cargo ship with humanitarian aid and two passenger ships. Participants are rehearsing their actions in case the flotilla is intercepted and preparing for possible scenarios where they may not be allowed to sail from Turkey or be seized by Israel in international waters.

Despite potential obstacles, pro-Palestinian activists remain determined to deliver aid to Gaza, showing their commitment to supporting those in need in the region.
