Climate activist Greta Thunberg has boarded the Global Sumud Flotilla – a massive civilian-led mission sailing from Barcelona to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid. Dubbed the 'largest solidarity mission in history' by organizers, over 50 ships will converge in Tunisia by September 4 before heading to the conflict zone. 🚢⚓
A Mission of Solidarity
The flotilla, backed by doctors, activists, and NGOs, aims to 'end the genocide of Palestinians' by establishing a humanitarian corridor. Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila called it a 'global wake-up call,' while Thunberg emphasized: 'This isn’t about us – it’s about Palestine. People are being deprived of survival.' 💔
Why It Matters
With Gaza facing severe shortages of food, medicine, and fuel, the flotilla’s success could pressure governments to address what the UN calls a 'humanitarian catastrophe.' But navigating geopolitical tensions remains a high-stakes challenge. 🌐⚖️
