Global Sumud Flotilla departs for Gaza

Thousands gathered at the Spanish port to see off the first 39 boats, which are carrying activists and essential supplies.

The flotilla's mission is to challenge the ongoing siege of Gaza and highlight the deepening humanitarian crisis in the territory.

Israel has a history of intercepting similar aid flotillas, leading to concerns about potential confrontations at sea.

Organizers have vowed to reach Gaza despite the significant risks and the lack of official authorization from Israeli authorities.
