A total of 171 activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla, including renowned climate activist Greta Thunberg, have been deported to Greece and Slovakia following their mission to support the people of Gaza.
The group had set sail to draw global attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region. Their effort was part of an international campaign calling for peace, justice, and an end to the suffering of civilians.
Organizers described the participants as human rights defenders who risked their safety to raise awareness and deliver aid. Despite being detained and later deported, their message of solidarity continues to resonate across the world.
Flotilla’s action has reignited discussions on the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the global responsibility to ensure the protection of human rights.
