VARIOUS OF PROTESTERS CHANTING SLOGANS, HOLDING PRO-PALESTINE BANNERS, FLAGS AND MARCHING IN STREETS ATHENS, GREECE - OCT. 5: Pro-Palestinian demonstrators filled the streets of Athens on Sunday, Oct. 5, in a show of solidarity with the people of Gaza and to protest Israel’s ongoing blockade. Protesters gathered outside the parliament building in response to calls from political parties, civil society organizations, and solidarity groups, condemning Israel’s actions against both Palestine and the Global Sumud Flotilla. Demonstrators also announced that solidarity actions would continue throughout the week, and called for a nationwide strike on Oct. 10 in protest against what they described as 'support for genocide'. Similar protests took place in Thessaloniki, Patras, Chania, Lesbos, Chios, Volos, and Larissa, with participants calling for the immediate release of 27 Greek nationals detained by Israel aboard the flotilla. Israeli naval forces attacked the flotilla as it approached Gaza’s coast late Wednesday and detained at least 443 activists on board, organizers said. The International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza (ICBSG) confirmed that 22 ships have been attacked and seized by Israeli forces, and 19 are believed to have been attacked, but it has not yet documented them. Of the four vessels still remaining, two support ships turned back, while the vessel Marinet continued sailing toward Gaza but was still far away after a late arrival due to technical malfunctions, it added. 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.
