US EditionOrganizers say a new civilian-led aid flotilla with over 100 boats will sail to Gaza in March
The flotilla will include over 1,000 medics and aims to break Gaza’s blockade to deliver aid, following a 2025 attempt involving 40 boats halted by Israeli forces.
- On Feb 5, organizers at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg announced a March flotilla plan, hoping to bring 100 boats for the attempt.
- During the October 2025 interception, Israeli forces halted roughly 40 boats and detained over 450 participants, including Greta Thunberg, after last year's mission mobilized about 50 vessels and 500 activists.
- The campaign will launch from Spain, Tunisia and Italy with more than 1,000 activists including medical doctors, war crimes investigators and engineers, supported by a land convoy through Tunisia and Egypt.
- Organizers warned the flotilla may be blocked but still serve its purpose, citing an International Court of Justice provisional ruling while Israeli officials criticized past missions as publicity stunts.
- Humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where over two million residents live, remain dire, despite UN offloading hundreds of thousands of pallets; Israeli forces control more than 53% of Gaza.
