We want to update you, the supporters of U.S. Boats to Gaza and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, on the status of the 2024 Gaza Freedom Flotilla.
The ship Handala of the 2024 Gaza Freedom Flotilla’s mission to challenge the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza has entered a crucial phase of the three-and-a-half-month voyage.
After departing from Norway in May 2024, Handala has traveled across Europe, and making significant stops in 20 ports in Norway, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, France, Spain, and Portugal, with several more countries to come. This journey not only symbolizes solidarity with those in Palestine but also raises awareness about the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza due to Israeli genocide in Gaza and 17 years of land, air and sea blockade.
The Gaza Flotilla initiative, led by participants and crew members representing 19 countries, underscores global outrage over the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza. We call for a permanent ceasefire to end the genocide in Gaza, and for an end to the blockade that has severely restricted essential supplies, including food, medicine, and fuel, from reaching Gaza’s two million residents.
Handala has been received in each port by enthusiastic crowds of Palestinian solidarity supporters with cultural and educational community events. Handala is a great vehicle for Palestinian community efforts. (more...)
