SHOTLIST: TUNIS, TUNISIA (OCT. 2, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF PROTEST AGAINST ISRAELI ATTACKS ON GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILLA, PROTESTERS CHANTING SLOGANS, HOLDING BANNERS AND PALESTINIAN FLAGSTUNIS, TUNISIA - OCT. 2, 2025: A protest was held in Tunisia against Israel’s attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, on Thursday, Oct. 2, which is sailing toward Gaza to break the blockade and deliver humanitarian aid. Organized by the Maghreb Sumud Convoy, demonstrators gathered on Habib Bourguiba Avenue in central Tunis to condemn the Israeli assault on the flotilla. Palestinian flags were displayed, and voice messages from activists participating in the fleet from Tunisia were shared during the protest. Speaking at the event, Maghreb Sumud Convoy member said Israel’s attacks would not deter them and that the fleet would continue its journey. The International Committee for Breaking the Siege on Gaza accused Israel of using violence against the activists, saying naval forces rammed one ship, deployed water cannons, and forcibly boarded vessels while “brutally mistreating peaceful detainees from 50 countries around the world.” Organizers said around 70 activists have been detained so far. The flotilla, loaded mainly with humanitarian aid and medical supplies, set sail at the end of August. It was the first time in years that more than 50 ships have sailed together toward Gaza, carrying 532 civilian supporters from over 45 countries. Israel has maintained a blockade on Gaza, home to nearly 2.4 million population, for nearly 18 years, and further tightened the siege in March when it closed border crossings and blocked food and medicine deliveries, pushing the enclave into famine. Since October 2023, Israeli bombardment has killed more than 66,100 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The UN and rights groups have repeatedly warned that the enclave is being rendered uninhabitable, with starvation and disease spreading rapidly.
