On August 31, a massive humanitarian flotilla departed from Barcelona, seeking to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza by sea. The Global Sumud Flotilla—featuring dozens of vessels carrying activists, water, food, and medicine—marks the largest civilian-led maritime convoy in history. Organizers include environmental and human rights figures, aiming to pressure for open aid corridors to the embattled enclave. The initiative emerges amid escalating conflict and starvation conditions in Gaza, signaling growing international solidarity efforts. Its departure represents both a logistical aid attempt and a powerful symbolic resistance to ongoing siege policies.
