The Global Sumud Flotilla has not been able to head for Gaza due to bad weather
In the end they will not go to Sicily, and they will move only from a port in Barcelona, until the situation has improved.
The Global Sumud Flotilla, which was to depart this Sunday from the Moll de la Fusta in Port Vell in Barcelona for Gaza, will not finally enter international waters, will be moored in another port in Barcelona because the weather prevents the start of the crossing to Gaza.
This was explained by the main activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla at a press conference held at Port Vell in Barcelona before the departure of the fleet at 13:00.
"Our intention was to go out to international waters and go to Sicily, but the weather does not allow us," so the fleet "will depart from the Moll de la Fusta (Port Vell) and head to another port in Barcelona," said Thiago Ávila of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Avila has described today's day as "historic" because more ships have been mobilized than in the August 2025 mission, with 70 ships from as many countries carrying more than 1,000 people.He has acknowledged that the T rifles will take risks: "The people of Palestine have been in danger for 80 years."
"Governments failed."
Members of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) have criticized the "failure of governments" in Gaza and called for immediate action.
Refugee Susan Abdellah explains her experience, which she has described as hell: "When you think there is peace, there is never peace. You must leave your home and your whole life. What have you got with you? "
On the other hand, Sümeyra Akdeniz Hora has criticized the fact that the people of Gaza "have been cleansed and suppressed in the broad sense of the word, it must be said loud and clear, it is genocide"and that" states and institutions have failed ".
Muhammad Nadir Al-Nuri has called on "world leaders to do more than they do, they must do the right thing and they must do it now" and has stressed that the people of Gaza have no access to health and education.
