A flotilla carrying aid and activists including Greta Thunberg, is to leave Barcelona on Sunday, August 31st, to try to ‘break the blockade of Gaza,’ organizers said. The exact number of ships and the departure time were not given.
More boats are expected to leave from other Mediterranean ports, like Tunis, on September 4th. The flotilla aims to reach Gaza by mid-September.
Organizers call it the largest solidarity mission so far involving activists, lawmakers, and public figures from several countries.
The activists have not signaled intention to raise their voices for the Israeli hostages still held in Hamas dungeons in the Gaza Strip.
