The mission continues! Despite the illegal abduction of the Global Sumud Flotilla crew, a powerful new fleet is now critically close to the shores of Gaza.

This collaborative fleet, a union of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (@gazafreedomflotilla) and Thousand Madleens to Gaza (@thousandmadleenstogaza), is sailing with nearly 150 people from 30 countries. They are just 140 nautical miles from Gaza right now.

The world is their witness. Follow the live tracker now to see all nine boats in real-time on the Freedom Flotilla website and share this message widely.

Stop the Genocide. Keep your eyes on Gaza.

Our flotilla is now within 150 nautical miles of Gaza’s coast, nearing the zone where earlier Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Global Sumud Flotilla missions faced attacks from Israel. Keep your eyes on our flotilla but do not lose focus of what is happening in Gaza. Tag media and politicians to end their enabling and protection of Israel’s crimes NOW.

For decades, Israel’s occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and relentless violence has been funded and shielded by governments, corporations, and international institutions. We refuse to be silent. To move forward, the world must confront oppression in its full reality – colonialism is not a relic of the past, but an ongoing system.

We, the FFC and TMTG, sail against Israel’s brutality and fear tactics. As we quickly approach the interception zone, we ask you to raise awareness by tagging your governments and representatives, and demand they act to not only keep the flotilla safe, but to end Israel’s impunity and genocidal campaign immediately.

By July this year, 1,581 Palestinian healthcare workers in Gaza had been killed by Israel since Oct 7 (OHCHR). The Israeli military has also abducted more than 360 medical personnel, with at least four dying in custody due to torture and medical neglect (Palestine Centre for Prisoners’ Studies). Israel also continues to block most international medics from entering Gaza and to deny the delivery of vital medical supplies.

Our flotilla sails for a world where hospitals and healthcare workers are no longer targets. The ‘Conscience’ is now days away from Gaza, carrying international medics ready to provide urgent care to Palestinians.

Spokesperson of the Global Sumud Flotilla Saif Abukeshek has provided a “mission up-date” in a post on Instagram, confirming that Israeli occupation forces have intercepted 13 boats at sea.

Abukeshek said there were more than 201 people from 37 countries on those boats, including 30 participants from Spain; 22 from Italy; 21 from Turkey; and 12 from Malaysia.

He said the group’s “mission is going on” despite the detention and vessels are continuing to sail “through the Mediterranean to break the siege on Gaza”. QNN

BREAKING: GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILLA INTERCEPTED BY ISRAELI NAVAL FORCES
October 1, 2025

On Wednesday, 1 October 2025 at around 8:30 pm Gaza time, multiple vessels of Global Sumud Flotilla—notibly Alma, Surius, Adara—were illegally intercepted and boarded by Israeli Occupation Forces in international waters.

Prior to illegally boarding the ships, it appears as though the Israeli naval vessels intentionally damaged ship communications, in an attempt to block distress signals and stop the live-stream of their illegal boat boarding. In addition to the boats confirmed to be intercepted, live-stream coverage and communication has been lost with multiple other boats.

We are diligently working to account for all participants and crew. We will share updates as soon as we have confirmed information about the status of boats, detentions, injuries and potential casualties. This is an illegal attack on unarmed humanitarians in international waters.

We call on governments, world leaders, and international institutions to demand the safety and release of all on board and continue to monitor this situation closely. Despite interception of a few vessels, the Global Sumud Flotilla is 70 nautical miles away from the Gaza coastline and will continue undeterred.

Possible illegal interception by Israel’s naval commando unit of the Global Sumud Flotilla may be within the hour. GSF radars currently show a concentration of roughly 12 unidentified vessels, 5-15 miles from the flotilla. Contact has seemingly been disconnected with some GSF vessels, with some experiencing signal jamming. Keep your eyes on those onboard, contact your embassies, and demand your government ends their enabling of Israel’s crimes!

Today the Freedom Flotilla Coalition set sail with roughly 100 people aboard the ‘Conscience’ – a majority being healthcare workers or journalists. Our goal is to break Israel’s illegal siege, to provide international correspondents the chance to attempt direct reporting from Gaza, and to deliver urgently needed medical support  to Palestinians! 🇵🇸

‘It is a bloodbath’: Australian medic describes situation at Gaza hospital

Dr Saya Aziz, working at al-Shifa Hospital, says she has lost count of the number of amputations she has had to perform.

An Australian medic working at Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital says she has lost count of the number of amputations she has had to perform, as two more hospitals were shut down amid Israel’s relentless bombardment of the enclave.

“On the first day, I started off thinking I’ve never seen anything like this, and then in the following days I’ve seen … more. I’ve lost count of the number of amputations I’ve done,” Dr Saya Aziz, an anaesthesiologist, told Al Jazeera.

“The worst thing is these patients are alive … when we take them into the [operation] theatre they’re alive, they’re bleeding to death,” she said, adding how in the recess area of the hospital, dangling bits of toes and flesh and people with missing limbs have become a common sight.

Al-Shifa Hospital was once the largest medical complex in the Gaza Strip, but most of it now lies in ruins after several rounds of intense Israeli ground and air sieges since the start of the war in October 2023.Gaza’s healthcare facilities have been repeatedly targeted by Israel, including with 2,000-pound bombs supplied by the United States, Israel’s closest ally.Hundreds of medics have been killed in the 23 months of brutal war that has been dubbed a genocide by numerous rights organisations, including the United Nations.Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, the head of orthopaedics at al-Shifa Hospital, was tortured to death in an Israeli prison months after he was arrested in December 2023. Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, was arrested last November. He still languishes in an Israeli jail.

Targeting of health facilities, medical personnel and patients is considered a war crime under the 1949 Geneva Convention.

Médicos afirmam que não vão sair do hospital al-Shifa, em Gaza

No meio da escalada israelita, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, director hospitalar cujos familiares foram assassinados pela ocupação, reafirmou que as equipas médicas vão continuar a trabalhar na Cidade de Gaza.

Muhammad Abu Salmiya fala à Al Jazeera no hospital al-Shifa, bastante destruído pela ocupação, na Cidade de Gaza / Al Jazeera
 

Em declarações à imprensa na manhã de domingo, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, director do complexo hospitalar al-Shifa, disse que as equipas médicas não vão abandonar os pacientes, no meio da ofensiva terrestre israelita em grande escala contra a Cidade de Gaza.

Vamos continuar o nosso trabalho, apesar da destruição, da falta de medicamentos e dos ataques às nossas casas e famílias, afirmou, acrescentando que os profissionais da saúde se mantêm firmes no compromisso de salvar vidas e cuidar dos feridos, mesmo nas condições mais «insuportáveis».

O al-Shifa já foi o maior complexo hospitalar na Faixa de Gaza, mas hoje está praticamente em ruínas, depois de ter sido alvo de intensos bombardeamentos aéreos e de artilharia por parte das forças de ocupação, em diversas ocasiões.

O actual director passou mais de sete meses nas cadeias israelitas, com a ocupação a alegar que a resistência palestiniana usava o hospital como base para o «terrorismo», refere a Al Jazeera.

Acabou por sair sem «acusações» mas depois de ter sido submetido a sessões de tortura e de humilhação. No sábado, um ataque israelita contra a sua casa de família, no campo de refugiados de al-Shati, matou pelo menos cinco pessoas, incluindo o seu irmão, cunhada e filhos.

Neste sentido, a fonte destaca que Abu Salmiya está a tentar dar o exemplo, no meio de «condições horrendas».

«As nossas equipas médicas continuam a realizar a sua missão humanitária neste complexo hospitalar sob forte pressão», disse o director, na Cidade de Gaza.

«A sua mensagem continua: servimos os doentes e os feridos o melhor que podemos», frisou, alertando para a política de limpeza étnica levada a cabo por Israel e condenando os ataques directos a unidades hospitalares e pessoal médico.

Uma médica australiana a trabalhar como voluntária no hospital destacou as condições «horríveis» em que o pessoal médico trabalha.

«Pude constatar a capacidade de resistência destes médicos… são literalmente heróis», disse a médica australiana à Al Jazeera, explicando que médicos, enfermeiros e estudantes de medicina estão a viver e a trabalhar no hospital.

«Estamos aqui há apenas duas semanas e simplesmente não conseguimos abranger a dimensão do trauma e do trabalho duro. Não creio que um ser humano possa sobreviver e aguentar aquilo por que estamos a passar», disse.

O hospital a-Shifa é uma de muitas infra-estruturas da saúde que foram quase inteiramente destruídas pelas forças de ocupação no enclave.

Ahmed al-Farra, director de pediatria do Hospital Nasser, em Khan Yunis, no Sul de Gaza, sabe bem as condições terríveis que as equipas médicas sofrem em todo o território e destacou o facto de, desde o início da agressão, Israel ter estado a atacar o pessoal médico, «metendo-o na cadeia ou matando as suas famílias».

De acordo com as autoridades na Faixa de Gaza, a ocupação matou pelo menos 1670 trabalhadores do sector nos últimos dois anos.

As mesmas fontes, a que a Wafa se refere, indicam que, desde Outubro de 2023 até ontem, os ataques israelitas provocaram pelo menos 65 283 mortos e 166 575 feridos entre os palestinianos, na sua maioria mulheres e crianças.

Al-Shifa Director: Gaza’s health system collapsing, only ending genocide can help

Wednesday 3-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, Director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex, said that the health and humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip has reached its worst stage since the beginning of the Israeli aggression, warning of a complete collapse of the health system.

In a statement on his Facebook page on Tuesday, Abu Salmiya explained that hospitals are filled to capacity, with bed occupancy rates reaching between 250% and 300%, while medical departments are witnessing a sharp increase in wound infections.

He added that last August recorded the highest number of famine-related deaths since the start of the aggression, with expectations of a further rise in deaths in the coming period due to the continued lack of food.

He stressed that medicines and medical supplies have reached a critical stage, with shortages exceeding 60%. Stocks of anesthetics, platinum, plaster, emergency and surgical drugs, antibiotics, as well as cancer and chronic disease medications have completely run out.

He pointed out that these medicines are unavailable even in health centers, international organizations, or private pharmacies.

Abu Salmiya explained that displacement camps are witnessing a wide spread of respiratory and skin diseases, along with an increase in cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, worsening the health crisis for Palestinians.

On the humanitarian level, he said that residents are enduring repeated displacement under harsh conditions, without enough food or safe drinking water, as daily-use water is mixing with sewage.

Abu Salmiya concluded by stressing that “only stopping the genocide can resolve these crises and their consequences,” calling on the international community to intervene immediately to stop the war.

Hamas: Israeli drone attacks on Sumud Flotilla “acts of terrorism”

Wednesday 24-September-2025

 

GAZA, (PIC)

The Hamas Movement has condemned Israeli drone attacks on several Gaza-bound ships from the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters, calling them “acts of terrorism” and a “dangerous behavior paving the way for more severe assaults on the flotilla and its participating activists.”

In a statement on Wednesday, Hamas accused the Israeli occupation of attempting to dissuade the participants in the flotilla from finishing their humanitarian mission and delivering aid to the embattled people of Gaza, “who are facing systematic campaigns of genocide and starvation.”

The Movement urged the international community, the UN and their human rights organizations to take immediate and effective measures to protect the flotilla and its crews and ensure the delivery of aid to the civilians under siege in Gaza.

Organizers of the Gaza-bound aid flotilla reported Israeli attacks on their boats at dawn Wednesday and seeing multiple drones around the fleet, which is made up of more than 500 people, including prominent environmental activist Greta Thunberg.

The Global Sumud Flotilla which was sailing near Greece as of early Wednesday also saw its communications “jammed,” its organizers said in a statement.

“We are witnessing these psychological operations first-hand, right now, but we will not be intimidated,” they added.

In an online video shared by the flotilla organizers overnight, a bright light can be seen piercing the darkness, before a loud blast rings out. They said that the video was filmed from one of its boats, “Specter,” and that it captured one of the explosions heard by crew members.

Meanwhile, Italian defense minister Guido Crosetto condemned on Wednesday the Israeli drone attacks on the Global Sumud Flotilla as it left Greece en route towards Gaza.

He added that Italy was sending a naval ship to be nearby if the flotilla required assistance. “The vessel is already en route to the area for possible rescue operations,” Crosetto wrote on X.

“In a democracy, demonstrations and forms of protest must also be protected when they are carried out in accordance with international law and without resorting to violence,” Crosetto said.

Explosions, Heavy Drone Swarms, and Communications Jamming Signals Pretext for Possible Israeli Attack on 500+ Civilian  volunteers Global – In the final days before reaching Gaza, the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) is experiencing an alarmingly dangerous escalation, with multiple boats reporting targeted explosions and unidentified objects being dropped on and near the boats, causing significant damage and widespread obstruction in communications.

This comes on top of a sustained campaign of intimidation and disinformation by Israel, aimed at discrediting and endangering the 500+ unarmed civilians aboard the flotilla who are attempting to deliver food and medical supplies to Gaza to help end Israel’s illegal blockade.

Explosions and Jamming: Tonight, at least 13 explosions were heard on and around several  flotilla boats, with widespread disruption in communications, raising urgent concerns for the safety of participants.

Drones Overhead: In the past 24 hours, more than 15 low-altitude drones have hovered above the Alma boat, appearing roughly every 10 minutes.

Unidentified Objects Dropped: Flotilla participants reported objects being dropped on at least 10 boats from drones or aircrafts, causing damage. No fatalities have been reported. The extent of the damage will be fully assessed in daylight.

Coordinated Smear Campaign: Israel continues to falsely label the GSF the “Hamas flotilla,” asserting that it plans to engage in violent action. This disinformation campaign is an attempt to pre-emptively justify military action against a civilian-led, nonviolent, humanitarian mission.

/// Hundreds of elected representatives from across the EU demand immediate protection for the Global Sumud Flotilla after last night’s attacks in European waters. The letter comes as Italian MPs force their Government to deploy a naval vessel to safeguard their nationals at sea. Together with parliamentarians across the continent, we now call on other states to follow with protective presence to ensure the safe passage of the fleet as it establishes a humanitarian corridor to Gaza.

She departs from European territorial waters, sailing entirely through international waters into Palestinian waters off Gaza.

Unarmed and nonviolent, ‘Madleen’ poses no threat. She sails in full accordance with international law. Any attack or interference will be a deliberate, unlawful assault on civilians.

That’s why @lanzybear @susansarandon @fababs @brianeno @maxmaxporter @aiysha_hart @gretathunberg @liamcunningham1 @indyamoore @zein_rahma @betteblavatsky @melissabarreram @lisamoorish @nicolejenes @realjulietstevenson @misanharriman @khalid3bdalla @nangoldinstudio @susanabulhawa @robert3delnaja @leavecaricealone and more have joined in support.

Share. Speak out. Protect this mission. Stand with Gaza. Track the Madleen via our website.

Don’t Lose the ‘Madleen’: Track Their Journey to Gaza

https://freedomflotilla.org/ffc-tracker/

In partnership with Forensic Architecture, we’ve equipped the Madleen with a live tracker to ensure safety, accountability, and global solidarity.

As she sails to break Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, the risk of attack is real. The tracker broadcasts her position in real time deterring violence, exposing any aggression, and allowing the world to witness this mission of resistance.

Through this collaboration, we are not only increasing transparency, we are building a framework for justice. The tracker transforms a solitary vessel into a globally witnessed journey, making it harder for any violations to occur unnoticed or unchallenged.

Follow the Madleen. Stay alert. Stand with Palestine.
