This is the crew of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla boat from Greece, the Mikeno, that entered territorial waters and sailed closest to #Gaza. The man laughing in the background of the photo is Turkish captain of the Mikeno, Muhammad Kuchuktigin. The Mikeno kept switching their radar on and off since 3 am Gaza time last night evading interception and capture from around 60 nautical miles from Gaza's shore. A complete show of bravery and determination!!!!
The entire world is out in the streets protesting Israel’s illegal interception of the Sumud Flotilla- carrying aid to break the siege on Gaza.
We are done with this genocide. We are done with our complicit leaders. We are done with Zionism.
Three Egyptian activists who were set to take part in the Egyptian arm of the Global Sumud Flotilla have disappeared, campaigners report.
The activists were last seen in downtown Cairo in the early hours of Tuesday morning. According to Ziad Bassioni, one of the flotilla organizers, their families reported that “they did not come home.” Organizers believe the disappearances are connected to the activists’ involvement in the flotilla, though Egyptian authorities have not confirmed whether they are being detained.
In a statement shared on Facebook, flotilla organizers described the activists’ potential detention as “unjustifiable,” noting their repeated efforts to secure official permission to participate. Campaigners previously told Middle East Eye that Egyptian authorities had not approved the initiative despite repeated requests.
The organizers have also lost contact with the owner of one of the five vessels intended for the flotilla. Local media outlet Al Manassa reported that the owner withdrew after receiving “threats and security pressure,” highlighting the challenges the initiative has faced on the ground.

BREAKING: Italian Unions and protesters kept their promises to block EVERYTHING if any harm was made to the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Naples, Italy, was the first to block the train station and now protests have also started in Rome.
❗️The spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defense, Mahmoud Basal, said that Israeli occupation forces directly targeted their crews with a drone while they were on a humanitarian rescue mission at Al-Falah School in the Al-Zaytoun area, where displaced families had been sheltering. Seven civil defense personnel were injured, and rescue worker Monther Raed Al-Dahshan was killed.
Basal asks: “Why is the person wearing this orange vest killed? Why are our crews killed, those who only serve people and provide humanitarian service?” More than 30 members of Gaza’s Civil Defense have been killed by the Israeli terrorist army asince the genocide began, despite international law guaranteeing them protection.

Their ‘crime’?
Bringing baby formula to the starving children of Gaza.
🚨James Elder, UNICEF Global Spokesperson, is absolutely floored by the amount of violence the Israeli terror state is inflicting upon children. After being away for a while, he reports from Al-Aqsa Hospital in the central Gaza Strip
