Global Sumud Flotilla to Depart Barcelona for Gaza on August 31

Organizers confirm an August 31 Barcelona launch under tight secrecy.

Overview

  • Coordinators say participants from about 44 countries will join, with roughly 28,000 people registered to help in Spain.
  • Greta Thunberg is among the confirmed activists expected to board one of the vessels.
  • Barcelona’s Moll de la Fusta will serve as an activity and training hub from August 29 with concerts, talks and logistics support.
  • Organizers plan to carry medical supplies and nutritional aid and to rendezvous at sea on September 4 with boats departing from Tunisia and other ports.
  • Exact routes and boat counts are being withheld due to what organizers describe as intense sabotage attempts and pressure following earlier Israeli interdictions of activist ships.
