The handala, a ship of this non -violent international movement to support the Palestinians, left the port of Syracuse little in the afternoon, with about fifteen activists on board. He will try to join the Palestinian enclave plagued by a disastrous humanitarian situation after more than 20 months of war.
Medical equipment, food and drugs
A few dozen people, some equipped with Palestinian flags or Keffiieh, gathered in the port for cheers for the beginning of the “Palestine Free” boat, said AFPTV.
This ancient Norwegian drag, responsible for medical equipment, food, children’s equipment and medicines, will navigate for about a week in the Mediterranean Sea to travel about 1,800 kilometers to Los Gaza Côtes.
The expedition, financed by donation campaigns, aims to “bring international human solidarity to the Palestinian population of Gaza,” Claude Léostic told AFP on Saturday, coordinator of the “Flotilla for Freedom” in France.
“I hope we get to Gaza”
The boat will stop in Gallipoli, in southeastern Italy, where two elected representatives of the rebellious France (LFI), Gabrielle Cathala and Emma Fourreau, must address on July 18.
“It is a mission for children in Gaza, break the humanitarian block and break the silence of summer about genocide,” said Gabrielle Cathala. “I hope we get to Gaza, but if it is not the case, it will be another violation of International Law” of Israel, “he added.
The initiative occurs six weeks after Madleen’s departure, another ship that left Italy on June 1 to “break the Israeli block” in Gaza. The sailboat then had 12 activists on board, including the environmental activist Greta Thunberg and the Eurodiputa LFI Rima Hassan, who had been arrested three days after the interception of the ship, about 185 kilometers west of the coast of Gaza.
Israel, whose offensive began the day after the attack against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas on October 7, 2023, a humanitarian block imposed a humanitarian block in early March. This blockade has led to a very serious shortage of food, drugs and other basic needs, and only partially relaxed.
