The Israeli army largely dismantled the Global Samud Flotilla, the humanitarian flotilla who tried to break the siege of Gaza, arresting hundreds of activists from dozens of boats, but a yacht continues to navigate towards the Palestinian enclave. Some media report, including Jazeera.
The Marinette, the Polish flag and with a crew of six people, is the last operational ship that remained of the Global Sumud Flotilla, once made up of 44 boats. Speaking in video call with the organizers of the flotilla in the late evening yesterday, he writes to Jazeera, the Australian captain, who identified himself only as Cameron, explained that the boat had had problems with the engine and therefore had remained behind the group. Now the ship is “browsing at full speed” towards Gaza. “We have a very tenacious group of Turks on board … I and I and I will continue in the same direction,” he said. A video of the yacht, active at 4:00 GMT (6.00 in Italy), shows the crew at the helm of the ship while the sun rises on them.
