Global Sumud Flotilla heads from Barcelona to Gaza as mission grows


April 13, 2026 - A group of 39 boats known as the Global Sumud Flotilla has set sail from Barcelona to deliver aid to Gaza, with organizers saying more vessels are expected to join along the route, making it their largest mission so far. 

Israeli forces intercepted and detained crew from a similar flotilla last year, but organizers say rough sea conditions mean the journey will be slower this time, with the fleet expected to reach international waters later this week. 

Organizers accused Israel of repeatedly violating the ceasefire and expanding control in Gaza.
They said the flotilla aims to challenge what they describe as an illegal blockade.
