Israeli minister of internal security Itamar Ben-Gvir reportedly plans to hold activists attempting to reach the Gaza Strip in harsh prisons known for housing terrorists.
Global Sumud Flotilla Mission
The Global Sumud Flotilla aims to break the ongoing Israeli naval blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, where over half a million people face starvation.
Starvation in Gaza
According to the United Nations, over 1,800 people have died in Gaza due to the lack of basic necessities, with around 500,000 people facing starvation. The situation worsened after Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel in October 2023.
Polish Participants
Polish participants in the flotilla, including MP Franciszek Sterczewski, face the possibility of being held captive for weeks in conditions akin to torture if they attempt to pass the blockade.
