VARIOUS OF PROTESTERS HOLDING PALESTINIAN FLAGS AND CHANTING SLOGANSTRIPOLI, LIBYA - OCT. 2: Activists in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, staged a protest on Thursday, Oct. 2, in support of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which set out for the Gaza Strip and came under Israeli attack. Dozens of people gathered carrying Palestinian and Libyan flags and chanting slogans protesting Israel's attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla. During the protest, Ismail Abdusselam Barbush, Legal Advisor of the Libya Palestine Our Cause Caravan (Civil Society Organization), told an Anadolu reporter that the purpose of the demonstration was to protest Israel’s attack on the Omar Mukhtar ship, which joined the Global Sumud Flotilla from Libya, and to support the activists in the flotilla and stand by them. He also expressed that they will organize new flotillas until the blockade is broken. 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.
