The Global Sumud flotilla is one of the largest civilian-led maritime convoy in history, comprising over 50 vessels of varying sizes, carrying thousands of people from at least 47 countries. These vessels departed from multiple ports around the world and will converge in Gaza.
Those traveling on the flotilla include Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, French politician Emma Fourreau and American actor Susan Sarandon among others. Some of the participants were arrested or detained by Israel for being part of other freedom flotillas aiming to break the Gaza blockade earlier this year in May, June and July. In 2010, Israel boarded a similar flotilla and killed 10 activists.
