Protesters carried banners and Palestinian flags, expressed solidarity, and demanded the removal of the blockade on the Gaza Strip. During the demonstration, it was emphasized that such civil initiatives aim to remind the international community of its humanitarian responsibilities toward Gaza, and Israel’s attack on the Sumud Flotilla was condemned. The Israeli raid on the Global Sumud Flotilla came despite appeals by international organizations, including Amnesty International, for the protection of the aid flotilla. The UN also warned that any attack on the convoy would be unacceptable. Israel, as the occupying power, has previously attacked Gaza-bound ships, seized their cargo, and deported activists on board. 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 around 50 ships sailed together toward Gaza, carrying hundreds of civilian supporters. Israel has maintained a blockade on Gaza, home to nearly 2.4 million, 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 66,200 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.
