Health Workers Picket for Flotilla to Be Protected

Israeli forces seized most of over 40 vessels and detained hundreds of activists in a bid to uphold Gaza blockade, triggering widespread European protests and strikes.

  • On October 1, Israeli military units stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla—which included more than 40 boats—while they were sailing near Gaza, resulting in the detention of hundreds on board.
  • The flotilla aimed to break Israel's naval blockade to deliver humanitarian aid, prompting widespread protests and calls for sanctions and boycotts against Israel.
  • In response, hundreds of thousands protested in Italy and Europe, with road, harbor, and train station blockades, plus strikes in Greece, France, and Spain planned.

  • These coordinated actions signify a growing movement linking labor and youth activism to oppose support for the Gaza blockade and advocate for intensified international pressure on Israel.
