A group of international activists from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition is en route to Gaza on the ship Handala, carrying essential humanitarian aid. The mission aims to challenge Israel's blockade, deemed illegal under international law. Past attempts to deliver aid, including a recent voyage on the Madleen, were thwarted by Israeli military action. The situation in Gaza is dire, with over 1.1 million children at risk of starvation. Notably, crew member Huwaida Arraf has extensive experience with previous missions, including the deadly 2010 raid.
"The blockade was illegal at 2008; it is illegal and deadly and part of a genocide now. The entire world is allowing Israel - has allowed Israel to turn Gaza into an extermination camp."
"The mission comes as the starvation crisis in the besieged strip is rapidly worsening. According to Save the Children, nearly every child in Gaza - there are more than 1.1 million - is at risk of starvation."
