An international convoy resumes its sailing towards Gaza, defying the Israeli blockade

The organizers of the Global Al -Samoud fleet announced that the international aid convoy, which stopped days in Greek waters to reform technical breakdowns, resumed its journey to Gaza with the aim of challenging the Israeli naval blockade and delivering humanitarian aid.

The fleet, which includes about 47 civilian ships, including newly joined Greek ships, is carrying activists from dozens of countries, including Swedish activist Greta Thonberg and about 40 Italians, and hopes to reach Gaza next week. We will break the silence of the siege. Tajani warned of the dangers of approaching Israeli waters. The fleet had been attacked on Wednesday with drones that threw sound bombs and irritant materials off Crete in international waters, causing material damage without injuries. Israel did not comment on the incident, but it previously confirms that it will prevent any boats from reaching Gaza. On the other hand, Italy and Spain have published warships close to the convoy to support rescue and humanitarian monitoring tasks.
