It was noted that the flotilla which was Organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, carries world-renowned healthcare professionals, doctors, nurses, representatives of press organizations. It was emphasized that since Oct. 7, Israel has not allowed the entry of medicine, health, or medical supplies into Gaza, and that the Conscience ship set sail loaded with medical supplies, healthcare workers and doctors to deliver this urgent aid to the enclave. On Thursday, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said 11 more ships are sailing toward the Gaza Strip to break the 18-year Israeli blockade. According to the coalition, about 100 people are aboard the boats, off the coast of Crete. According to the FFC official tracker, both the Al-Awda (Brucaliffo) and the Ghassan Kanafani are still near the Greek island of Crete. The coalition, established in 2008, launched dozens of missions aimed at delivering aid and drawing global attention to the humanitarian crisis in the Israel-besieged Gaza Strip. The new convoy came two days after Israeli naval forces attacked and seized more than 40 boats sailing to Gaza to challenge the Israeli blockade and detained more than 450 activists on board. Israel, as the occupying power, has previously attacked Gaza-bound ships, seized their cargo, and deported activists on board. 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 rapidly spreading. Writing by Ayse Elif Erdis
