Overview

• Organizers and crews have waited in Porto Palo since Sunday to align vessels and prepare for a Gaza-bound attempt.
• Friday’s target departure at 10 a.m. local time was described as uncertain due to last‑minute technical issues.
• Participants report limited fresh water, too few working dinghies for transfers, and electrical systems strained by Starlink gear.
• Local fishermen and residents have been ferrying people and supplies to the boats, offering a mix of volunteer help and paid services.
• Volunteers say they completed nonviolence training and plan to turn back at the first Israeli gunfire, with rough grecale winds also factoring into timing.
