US EditionFrench Actress Adèle Haenel Joining the Flotilla to Gaza From Tunis
The Global Sumud flotilla includes over 100 activists aiming to deliver aid and challenge the Israeli blockade amid a man-made famine and escalating conflict in Gaza.
- On Friday, French actress Adèle Haenel announced she will embark from Tunis aboard the Global Sumud flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, with departure set for Sunday and over a hundred people expected.
- The crisis followed the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, leading to at least 64,231 deaths in the Gaza Strip; last month, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification announced a 'man-made' famine there.
- Among the flotilla's passengers are Greta Thunberg, Susan Sarandon, Emma Fourreau and Ada Colau, with holds packed with medicine and infant milk after an August 22 fundraising call; past flotillas faced attacks like the May 2 Conscience drone strikes near Malta.
- Organisers warn Israel may use violence against aid flotillas despite international law, while Tunisian boats will wait for the Spanish flotilla arriving Monday and the Sicilian flotilla expected Sunday before sailing together, as volunteers hope global pressure rises if Israel intervenes.
- The campaign, launched on August 22, quickly secured vessels ten days later, with Global Sumud planning a mid-September arrival and volunteers from Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States mobilizing urgently.
