Muhammad Ali, a British activist, said he joined the Thousand Madleens flotilla to deliver medical supplies and urged the international community to "liberate Gaza forever."
“I am trying to travel to Gaza with a thousand marines in order to deliver medical aid to the desperate people of Gaza,” Ali told Anadolu.
He urged the international community to rise with “thousands of boats and head toward Gaza and liberate Gaza forever.” “Free Palestine.”
Israeli naval forces attacked and seized vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla beginning on Wednesday and detained more than 470 activists from over 50 countries.
The flotilla had been attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel’s blockade of the enclave.
Israel has maintained the blockade on Gaza, home to nearly 2.4 million people, for almost 18 years.
Since October 2023, Israeli bombardments have killed more than 67,000 Palestinians in the enclave, most of them women and children, and rendered it all but uninhabitable.
