– Israel will not allow ships to enter the active battle zone and will not allow the laws of maritime blockade – the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, accusing Hamas to organize the flotilla to serve the goals of that group.
Fleet that goes for gauze and transporting assistance and propagest activists sailed on Monday from Tunis after repeated delays, with the aim of breaking the Israeli blockade and the establishment of humanitarian corridor to the Palestinian territory.
– We are also trying to send a message to the people of Gaza that the world did not forget them – said Swedish climatic activist Greta Thunberg before boarding in the northern port of Bizerta.
– When our governments fail to take measures, we have no choice but take things in your hands – she said for AFP.
About about twenty ships that sailed from Barcelona gathered in Bizertie, and the last ships went to dawn, the AFP journalist reported.
Yasemin Acar, which helps coordinate Flotilla from Maghagreb, has published on Instagram images of ships that also move in the early morning hours.
“The blockade of the gauze must end” and “we go to solidarity, dignity and justice,” it said in the description.
The ships switched to the pepper after a burning room in Sidi Bou Said near Tunis. Global Fleotilla Sumud said two of her ship was the target of dron attacks at a successive night last week.
After the second incident, the Tunisian authorities sentenced what they called “in advance thoughtful aggression” and announced the investigation.
Departure is repeatedly postponed due to security problems, delays in the preparation of some ships and weather conditions.
The flotilla, which also includes ships that have set off in the last few days from Corsica, Sicily and Greece, originally planned to get to Gaza until mid-September after Israel blocked two earlier attempts in June and July.
