CRETA -The Global Sumud Flotilla has said a few of the boats will continue with the mission to break the Gaza blockade and deliver the much needed humanitarian aid to the starving Palestinians in Gaza.
In a statement, the Flotilla described the interception as an illegal attack on unarmed humanitarians on international waters, calling on world leaders and international institutions to demand the safety and release of all on board and continue to monitor the situation closely.
Earlier Israel Issued threats and the Flotilla responded: Our Mission Is Peaceful and Protected by Law
The Israeli occupation government attempted to intimidate the flotilla over radio, threatening to stop and confiscate the vessels if it continued toward Gaza.
The Flotilla responded: we are a peaceful, nonviolent humanitarian mission. Our journey is legal under international law, and any attempt to obstruct us is not.
“We carry food, aid, water filters, crutches, baby formula, to people you have been starving to death.”
“The world is watching, and those responsible for hostile actions will be held accountable”.
