BREAKING: 137 Sumud Flotilla participants have been flown to Tรผrkiye on a plane coordinated by Ankaraโs embassy in Tel Aviv.
One freed activist describes their ordeal:
โNo medicine. No water for 32 hours. Barely any food. At 3 a.m. they stormed our rooms with dogs and snipers, waking us every two hours. If this is how they treat us as civilians, imagine what Palestinians go through.โ
โ ๏ธ Testimony from aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla:
โThey dragged Greta by her hair, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag โ all in front of us. They wanted to make an example,โ recounts Turkish activist Ersin รelik.
The world must not stay silent. Demand answers. Demand accountability. Demand justice.
Shahed from Gaza:
The Sumud fleet was the hope and life for me and my stricken city. I was waiting for them on the beach to present them with my painting and for my weak hand to touch their brave hands, but that did not happen because of the occupation. Today I am standing and every person sadness and frustration We look to the horizon, will another hand extend to give us life or not?
