Hey amigoNews readers! A historic humanitarian mission just set sail: the Global Sumud Flotilla, led by activists and crew from Barcelona, aims to break the Gaza blockade and deliver crucial aid 🚢✨.
Organizers describe this as the largest civilian flotilla ever, with dozens of small vessels leaving Spain on Sunday. The first convoy is on its way to Tunisia, where over 50 ships will join forces on September 4 to create a united front against what they call an illegal siege.
Brazilian activist Thiago Avila, who called it "the largest solidarity mission in history," stood alongside Swedish activist Greta Thunberg at the Barcelona press conference. "The question here today is not why we are sailing," Thunberg said. "The story is not about our mission. It’s about Palestine and how people are being deprived of basic means to survive." ✊❤️
The goal is clear: open a humanitarian corridor, shine a spotlight on the crisis, and push for an end to the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. This civil-led effort shows how ordinary people can unite across borders for a cause they believe in.
Stay tuned as this epic mission unfolds—follow the flotilla’s journey from the Mediterranean to Gaza. 🌍🗺️
