|The Star
ELHAM Mouaffak-Hatfield, 47, a humanitarian from Durban North, will be sailing from Tunisia with hundreds of other delegates on the Global Sumud Flotilla - a coordinated, nonviolent fleet of mostly small vessels sailing from ports across the Mediterranean to break the Israeli siege in Gaza.
Her aim is to leave a better world for her children.
Mouaffak-Hatfield is part of the South African delegation comprising activists, health professionals, artists, journalists, and everyday citizens - all committed to breaking the Israeli blockade that has gripped Gaza for 18 years.
The Palestinian Solidarity activists from across South Africa have joined a historic international coalition representing more than 40 countries united in a mission of peaceful resistance to Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
South African delegates, that include Mouaffak Hatfield, Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela, Fatima Hendricks, Reaaz Moola, Nurain Saloojee, Jared Sacks, Zukiswa Wanner, Fazel Behra, Zaheera Soomar, and Irshaad Ahmed Chothia, are due to sail from Tunisia, while delegates from Malaysia, Brazil, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, the US and other countries departed from Barcelona.
