In a statement, the group said the mission would bring together “an international coalition determined to confront Israel’s siege on Gaza and respond to the escalating humanitarian and political crisis facing Palestinians”.
According to the statement, the mission includes more than 80 boats and over 1,000 participants from around the world, combining maritime action with synchronized mobilization on land, legal efforts and grassroots pressure in multiple countries.
“The cost of inaction is too high to bear”, the group said.
“In the face of escalating blockade, violence and deprivation in Gaza, this mission is a principled, nonviolent intervention: a defense of human dignity, a call for humanitarian access and a demand for international accountability”, it added.
The first Global Sumud Flotilla voyage across the Mediterranean to Gaza lasted several weeks and drew worldwide attention. It was ultimately stopped by Israeli forces in early October 2025.
