The international convoy ‘Samoud 2,’ involving over three thousand participants from nearly 100 countries, began its journey to the Gaza Strip yesterday. Organizers have stated that this initiative aims to break the blockade on Gaza and establish a humanitarian aid corridor.<\/p>\n
According to the Palestinian Shehab news agency, more than 70 boats and ships from various Mediterranean routes, including Barcelona in Spain and several Tunisian ports, are heading toward the Gaza shores. This fleet is part of coordinated international efforts to deliver food, medicine, and other essential supplies to the residents of this war-torn region.<\/p>\n
The participants include parliamentarians, human rights activists, and internationally recognized figures. Additionally, a dedicated medical unit with about one thousand healthcare workers is part of the convoy, carrying medical equipment and supplies needed to strengthen Gaza\u2019s health system.<\/p>\n
Organizers have emphasized that the initiative is not limited to the sea route; a land convoy has simultaneously departed from Algeria, which is planned to cross Tunisia and Libya before reaching the Rafah Crossing.<\/p>\n
Officials leading the initiative have declared that the goal is to create a civilian and sustainable maritime corridor for the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, free from military restrictions. They have stressed that this movement is entirely peaceful in nature.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, organizations including Amnesty International have called for securing a safe passage for the fleet and warned against a repeat of events that occurred in 2025. Zaher Birawi, head of the International Committee to Break the Gaza Blockade, described this initiative as a form of civil resistance aimed at compelling the international community to fully end the blockade on Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
