Hawzah News Agency- The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) and the Thousand Madleens to Gaza (TMTG) initiative said that approximately 70 activists from over 20 different nationalities are participating in the new flotilla.
Among the participants are parliamentarians from Belgium, Denmark, the European Union, Ireland, France, Spain, and the US. They are carrying “the voices of their voters and a message of solidarity with the Palestinian people''.
“For almost two years, Israel has relentlessly bombarded Gaza, maiming and murdering Palestinians, deliberately starving children to death, targeting journalists, hospitals and healthcare workers, and displacing families dozens of times. Every day, Palestinians are killed while world governments arm and shield Israel from their crimes. This flotilla sails at this moment of profound urgency'', according to a joint statement issued by FFC and TMTG.
“This wave of boats follows the Madleen, Handala, and the dozens of boats that the FFC has sailed over the past 15 years, as well as the vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla, all of which the Israeli military has repeatedly attacked. Together, these civilian missions signal that the demand to end Israel’s blockade cannot be silenced or deterred'', FFC and TMTG said.
“Every boat we launch is a direct challenge to the blockade and a declaration of solidarity. We sail not as charity, but as part of the global struggle to end apartheid and affirm the right of the Palestinian people to live free'', they added.
