Gaza, Israel
International News: More than 50 small ships are sailing towards Gaza. This mission is called the “Sumud Flotilla.” It includes doctors, journalists, and human rights workers from different countries. Their only goal is to carry food and medicine to the starving people of Gaza. Israel has already warned that it will not allow the ships to pass.
Reports say that nearly 85% of Gaza’s people have lost their homes. More than one lakh children are suffering from malnutrition. Hospitals are closed, and medicines are finished. The United Nations has blamed Israel for the famine. Every new report shows Gaza is on the edge of a complete disaster.
This is the biggest civilian effort for Gaza so far. The flotilla was prepared by several international groups. Organizers say this is a peaceful mission, fully legal under international law. Israel, however, claims it is linked with Hamas. The activists deny this, saying their only aim is relief and humanity.
People still remember 2010, when Israel attacked a ship named “Mavi Marmara” and 10 activists were killed. That incident shocked the world. This time, Turkey has warned Israel that any attack on the flotilla will lead to serious consequences. The warning has created more tension in the region.
The flotilla has become a challenge for both Israel and the United States. If they stop it, they may face anger from the world. If they allow it, their blockade will look weak. For Washington and Tel Aviv, this mission is turning into a tough diplomatic test.
The flotilla’s timing is important. It has begun sailing just as the UN General Assembly session is taking place. Many countries are now openly questioning Israel’s blockade. France and Spain have already given support to their citizens on the ships. This mission has forced leaders to focus on Gaza at the UN stage.
India has always supported Palestine and recognized it in 1988. But this time, India has said that humanitarian aid should be delivered through peaceful and legal means. Experts believe India should speak more strongly. For now, New Delhi is choosing to remain cautious while global debate grows louder.
