⛵️ Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) Update, September 27: Over 42 Ships Depart Greece and Head Straight for Gaza, After Flagship Suffers Complete Engine Failure On Saturday evening, around 10PM, 42 ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla–with vessels from Spain, Tunisia, Italy, and Greece–departed south of Crete from Greek territorial waters, where the coast guard provided protection for the past two nights after recent attacks on the Gaza-bound flotilla. Organizers told Drop Site that a confirmed 532 participants are sailing in the final leg of the journey, which is expected to take five days and span 460 nautical miles. In three days, the ships will enter what organizers call “the orange zone,” the likeliest area for Israeli interception. Given the recent attacks on the flotilla, organizers have prepared the crews to be on high alert as soon as the ships enter international waters–in the next three to four hours. Earlier today, Israel’s Foreign Ministry repeated on X its claim that the humanitarian mission is “all about provocation and serving Hamas.” The GSF Steering Committee told Drop Site that such threats will not deter the mission. At least two Italian naval vessels have pledged to assist in possible rescue missions, and a Spanish naval vessel is expected to join the flotilla tomorrow. The flotilla has suffered setbacks and delays over the past two days due to additional security and safety measures after attacks between Italy and Greece. Its flagship, the Family boat, suffered what organizers described as “catastrophic engine failure” two nights ago. The engine could not be repaired, and while sabotage has not been ruled out, internal investigations so far have proved inconclusive. A Turkish engineer was dispatched to the Family to determine the cause of the failure and help move the vessel out of Greek waters. The ship’s mechanic told Drop Site that when he inspected the engine he found that “all the oil was gone,” but did not make claims about the cause. At least two other boats required mechanical repairs in order to sail. With the Family boat decommissioned, at least 16 people had to be moved to other boats, with some leaving the mission due to discontent with the organization and its handling of the incident. The Family boat remains stranded off the coast of Crete. Saif Abukeshek, a member of the steering committee, told Drop Site that “We have a captain with Family now and tomorrow [it] will go to port for checks to start.” The Alma has now been appointed as the fleet’s flagship and is carrying the Steering Committee, while the Sirius-Haifa is second in command and hosts the largest number of participants, including most of the members of parliament. Previously forecasted storms no longer threaten the route, but crews still anticipate rough waters. 🎥 Watch: Sirius-Haifa political coordinator Bruno Gilga addresses the crew, including the new additions, and reviews security protocols in case of attack or interception.

🔴The Global Sumud Flotilla Holds A Press Conference in Tunis After Its Flagship Was Attacked Monday Evening At around 11:30 PM on Monday evening, an unknown object dropped and exploded on the deck of the Family Madeira ship, the lead vessel of the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF). The Family Madeira is sailing under a Portuguese flag and was anchored about 50 miles from the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunis when the boat was struck. The Global Sumud Flotilla released a statement last night stating that the organization suspects a UAV had dropped an incendiary device onto the ship, causing a small fire that was quickly put out by those onboard. The ship’s crew and the participants of the Flotilla are safe and unharmed. The Tunisian national guard claimed the GSF reports of the drone attack were “unfounded,” adding that the fire was caused by a cigarette butt or a lighter. Footage shared by GSF shows an object emitting light falling to the deck of the Family Madeira and exploding. The source and nature of the exploding object remain unconfirmed. On Tuesday morning at 10:00AM, GSF held a press conference on the stairs of the Municipal Theatre located on Habib Bourguiba Avenue, a thoroughfare in central Tunis. Lead organizer Thiago Ávila addressed the crowd to reaffirm the Sumud Flotilla’s commitment to its mission, calling on the world “to rise up.” He continued, “We need to mobilize in demonstrations, in boycotting, breaking the media blockade, breaking the big tech in social media, we need to disrupt the arms factories and the mechanisms of the genocide. We need to all be together in this historical task of our generation. Once again, we thank the Tunisian government and, most of all, the Tunisian people for the warm welcome here. We continue our mission.” — Alex Colston (Alex Colston) reports from Tunis on Tuesday morning Watch Ávila’s full statement on behalf of the Global Sumud Flotilla here:

⛵️ Breaking | The Ship Sirius of the Global Sumud Flotilla Arrives in Tunis — Drop Site’s Alex Colston Reports Since leaving from Menorca after a short technical stop, the majority of the fleet is approaching Tunis and keeping to its itinerary. Three boats have already docked at Tunis, including the flagship Familia Madeira, while 13 other ships are fast approaching the capital of Tunisia. The Ship Sirius, from where Drop Site reports, will arrive to dock at Tunis in about twenty minutes. Over the three-day journey from Menorca, the Sirius crew took the chance to take care of ourselves and each other, while making repairs and improvements to the boat through a fixed schedule of rotating work shifts. Every morning this week, we held a meeting to prepare for the day’s challenges and receive updates from the Steering Committee, while squaring away all essential logistical, training, and bureaucratic matters, like non-violence training, powers of attorney for participants, and SOS videos. This morning, Drop Site was told there would be another short technical stop in Tunis, with a scheduled departure straightaway for Gaza on Wednesday. Climate journalist and Independent MP for Compromís in the Valencian parliament, Juan Bordera, is also onboard and has been facilitating communication between the flotilla’s steering committee and climate scientists and meteorologists, who have warned us that storms will gather over the Mediterranean starting Thursday, endangering the smaller vessels in the flotilla. A decision about traveling amid the difficult weather has yet to be made. Around 50 boats and hundreds of participants, including vessels from Sicily, Italy, will join the ships arriving to Tunis from Barcelona. In Tunis, Nelson Mandela’s grandson Mandla Mandela and French actress Adele Haenel plan to take part in the flotilla as it continues its journey to Gaza. Meanwhile, an independent sailing effort departing from Libya, convened by former Prime Minister Omar al-Hassi, will also set sail at around the same time as the Sumud is leaving from Tunis. The Libyan delegation is not officially part of the Sumud Flotilla. 🎥 Watch: “The Ship Sirius: A day in the life,” a new video report from Alex Colston (Alex Colston), with footage from Enzo Pianetti. Most days of the boat are spent working together and attending to collective matters, small and large: whether fixing the water and sewage pump, bailing water out of the hull, constructing new amenities, cleaning and cooking—or as happened last night, helping the captain to fasten down new stays onto a dangerously loose part of the mast.
