As a show of solidarity with Palestine and to break Israel's blockade, boats from the international civilian aid fleet named the Global Sumud Flotilla, supported by more than 44 countries, departed from Barcelona, Spain, heading towards Gaza.
After leaving the Port of Barcelona, around 20 boats with over 300 people—including activists, artists, politicians, doctors, and journalists—will sail from Italy, Greece, and Tunisia into the Mediterranean as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
