The fleet will begin its final stage on its way to Gaza after several security changes
"Two drone attacks on ships docked in Tunisia, logistical barriers and fuel shortages" have delayed the departure of the fleet.
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) has embarked on the "final stage of its historic crossing" to the coast of the Gaza Strip and plans to concentrate the entire fleet in international waters, following the departure of dozens of ships from Italy, Tunisia and Greece and security changes, such as the reduction of the capacity of some ships.
"Yesterday, 18 ships sailed in Catania, Italy. Dozens more will depart today and tomorrow from Tunisia and Greece, and the entire fleet will soon meet in international waters to continue its journey to Gaza," the organization announced in a statement.
He explained that "the two drone attacks on ships docked in Tunisia, logistical obstacles and fuel shortages" delayed the departure of the fleet. "The GSF has also referred to the terrible threats posed by Israeli Minister Ben Gvir (Security Minister, Itamar) to the fleet's passengers, as the Israeli minister submitted a proposal to describe the fleet activists as" terrorists ".
In view of this situation, the organisers have decided to "transfer some ships to other ports for final preparation, rigorous testing at sea and adaptation of safety protocols", so that, "in anticipation of increasingly worsening conditions", "it has been necessary to make a difficult decision to reduce the number of passengers on certain ships bound for Gaza", the fleet admitted in its statement.
However, despite the problems, the Global Sumud Flotilla reiterates that "the determination to resist the illegal siege of Israel and to make every effort to end the genocide in Gaza is firm".
