The “Global Resilience Flotilla” has completed its preparations in Italy and has set sail this Sunday on a mission to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip and deliver humanitarian aid to the population.
According to the flotilla’s spokesperson, Elena Dalia, explained that approximately 65 vessels are participating, which could lengthen the process before the official departure.
Dalia noted that the first destination will be Greece, amidst the complexities of the geopolitical landscape in the Mediterranean stemming from the conflict between the United States and Israel against Iran.
She also said that the flotilla will make intermediate stops to assess the situation and make decisions along the way.
The Global Resilience Flotilla is a civic initiative launched in 2025, with the participation of organizations, activists, and volunteers from various countries, and is preparing for its second voyage as part of “Mission Primavera 2026.”
The vessels departed from Barcelona on April 12 and arrived in Sicily on April 23, where they joined the other ships and completed their preparations in the port of Augusta.
Gaza has been facing an unprecedented humanitarian and health crisis since the start of the war on October 8, 2023, with widespread destruction of infrastructure, including hospitals and health centers.
The population also suffers severe restrictions on the entry of fuel and medical supplies, amid a severe shortage of medicines and basic equipment.
