Gaza-Bound Flotilla Resumes Journey from Crete Toward Gaza
After two days anchored near Crete, the 40-vessel flotilla set sail again, with Italian and Spanish warships nearby to monitor and support its passage. The flotilla is part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, aiming to reach Gaza and break Israel’s naval blockade.
Among the participants is climate activist Greta Thunberg, who, along with a crew member, flashed victory signs from their ship as they sailed off Crete island, Greece, on September 25, 2025.
