The Global Sumud flotilla resumes its course from Menorca to Tunisia

PalmThe Global Sumud Flotilla has departed Menorca for Tunisia after having to stop for a few days to repair some boats damaged by the effects of the storm.

This was confirmed in a video released on social media by former Barcelona mayor and activist Ada Colau, who is traveling aboard one of the vessels participating in this action, which aims to open a humanitarian corridor to the Gaza Strip and break the blockade imposed by Israel.

Colau explained that the storm forced the smaller boats to address "technical requirements" and stop, but stressed that the pause has also served to reorganize the expedition and conduct training sessions in case of emergency.

In this sense, she stressed that the mission continues with the purpose of creating a humanitarian corridor, a responsibility that, she criticized, "should be assumed by governments" and that, given their inaction, "should be assumed by citizens."

The activist recalled recent mobilizations such as the pro-Palestinian protests in Bilbao during the Vuelta a España and the threat by Italian dockworkers to paralyze the ports of her country.

"People have more power than they are led to believe and we will ensure that European governments, who talk a lot about democracy and human rights, stop looking the other way, stop arms trafficking with Israel and impose trade sanctions to stop this genocide."
