New Gaza-bound aid boat leaves Italy

'Handala' Sail to Gaza: Activists Defy IDF Blockade Again After Madleen Seizure | Flotilla Returns

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition has launched a daring new mission to Gaza with its latest vessel, Handala, departing from Siracusa, Italy. This voyage comes just weeks after the Israeli Navy seized the Madleen, a British-flagged aid ship, and detained its 12 unarmed crew members in international waters. Now, with international solidarity behind them, activists are risking it all again to break the deadly and illegal blockade of Gaza. Their message? Aid is not a crime. Silence is complicity. Onboard the Handala are international human rights defenders — including members of France’s left-wing LFI party — ready to face armed interception in hopes of reaching Gaza's besieged population. As Israel tightens its grip, the sea becomes the last lifeline. This isn’t just a mission — it’s a message. #FreedomFlotilla #GazaSiege #Handala #BreakTheBlockade #GazaUnderAttack #HumanRights #IsraelPalestine #Madleen #InternationalWaters #Activism #SolidarityWithGaza #Flotilla2025 #FreeGaza #StopTheBlockade #HumanitarianCrisis ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~
