A vessel from the Global Sumud Flotilla, carrying humanitarian aid, has entered Gaza’s territorial waters, while 23 more ships continue their journey toward the besieged enclave. The flotilla, consisting of over 40 civilian vessels and around 500 activists from 44 countries, aims to deliver aid to Palestinians via the sea. Participants include lawyers, rights activists, doctors, journalists, and elected European Parliament members. One ship, Mikeno, has already crossed into Gaza’s waters, though it remains unclear if Israeli forces have detained it. Reports indicate that Israeli commandos are encircling vessels and detaining volunteers, raising fears of confrontation. The flotilla began its voyage on August 31 from Barcelona, later joined by ships from Tunisia, Sicily, and Greek islands. Israel alleges links between the flotilla and Hamas but has provided no evidence. Arrival was expected Thursday morning, barring interruptions.
