New Wave of Ships Approaches Gaza Strip

The International Committee to Break the Gaza Blockade reported that a new wave of ships is en route to the Gaza Strip ‍and are currently located 294 ‍nautical miles (545 kilometers) from Gaza, according to​ webangah News agency.

The Freedom Fleet Coalition announced on Friday that 11⁤ ships continue their journey from Italy toward the Gaza Strip with the goal of​ breaking its blockade.

In a statement, the Freedom ‍Fleet Coalition said these vessels have persisted in their ‍mission despite⁣ an illegal Israeli attack on the Samoud fleet⁣ carrying humanitarian aid meant for ‍residents of Gaza.

The statement⁤ added that these 11 Freedom Fleet ships carry around 100 passengers, including​ many ‌journalists and relief workers.

Some of these ships are named Abdulkarim Eid, Al-Oudah, Alaa Al-Najar, Anas Al-Sharif, Al-Dhameer, and Ghassan Kanafani.

Last Wednesday night,⁣ Israeli forces seized 42 vessels ⁢belonging ‌to the Global Samoud Fleet while they were sailing in ⁣international waters toward Gaza. Hundreds of international activists aboard those ships were detained.
