The Global Sumud Flotilla is a powerful group of over 50 ships from around the world, including South Africa, sailing to Gaza with food, medicine, and hope. Inspired by South Africa’s own fight against apartheid, these volunteers boldly challenge the blockade, turning simple supplies into symbols of steadfast resistance. With Mandela’s grandson among them, the mission blends history, courage, and care, sending a strong message that justice comes through action and global unity. Their voyage shines a bright light on Gaza’s suffering and calls the world to stand together for peace and freedom.
