Meeting at sea to challenge the illegal siege on Gaza | May 14, 2026 | We aren't an aid organization - we're sailing to break the blockade.
After
finishing repairs and resupplying, we launched our five Freedom
Flotilla Coalition (FFC) boats yesterday to sail onwards to Gaza. While
these vessels carry symbolic amounts of food and medicine, we are not an aid organization.
We sail in defiance of a brutal and unlawful blockade designed to
isolate, imprison, and persecute Palestinians in Gaza, and in rejection
of the international community’s failure to stop Israel’s ongoing crimes
against the Palestinian people. | | | | | Yesterday the FFC launched five vessels — Adalah, Kyriakos X, Lina Al Nabulsi, PERSEVERANCE and Tenaz Love Aqsa Bangladesh
— from a Greek island, to join the broader international flotilla
effort to break Israel’s illegal siege of Gaza and challenge the
impunity enabling genocide, starvation, and the wholesale erasure of the
Palestinian people. Today our boats joined approximately 55 additional
boats that departed from Marmaris, Türkiye in a historic meeting at sea https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1JQiap7xJp/.
Since
2010, the FFC has organized and sailed dozens of vessels in direct
challenge to Israel’s unlawful naval blockade, building on the historic
missions of the Free Gaza Movement,
which first broke the blockade of Gaza by sea in 2008. Following the
June 2025 voyage of the Madleen, international participation in flotilla
initiatives expanded significantly, reflecting global civil society's
growing refusal to accept our governments' normalization of siege and
genocide.
| | |  | This
phase of the mission follows Israel’s April 29 attack on 22 civilian
vessels off the western coast of Greece, as well as the abduction and
abuse of two Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) organizers. Following that
attack, organizers temporarily paused departures in order to assess
security conditions and coordinate next steps. Despite escalating
attacks and intimidation, the flotilla mission continues.
In
recent weeks, Israel and the United States have attempted to smear and
criminalize the GSF through baseless allegations clearly aimed at
delegitimizing civilian resistance and manufacturing public consent for
further attacks on the mission. The release of GSF organizers Saif and
Thiago without charges only further exposed the emptiness of these
claims. A few countries have spoken out against those crimes, but
Canada, Australia and France are not among those principled intenational
voices. Israel and all states cooperating with it are on clear notice:
this flotilla is civilian, unarmed, and sailing in accordance with
international law, and in defense of fundamental human rights.
For
Palestinians in Gaza who have endured two decades of a deadly blockade,
repeated military assaults, forced deprivation, sexual violence and
ongoing genocide, this flotilla represents more than humanitarian
solidarity. It is an act of international civilian resistance against
settler colonial violence and the global machinery that sustains it.
As
part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the Canadian Boat to Gaza
campaign remains committed to direct, nonviolent action--at sea and on
land--to confront Israel’s illegal closure of Gaza and to stand with the
Palestinian people in their struggle for freedom, dignity, return, and
self-determination. We invite you to join with us in this work.
In solidarity, David from Canada Boat to Gaza | | | | | | | | | | |
