Vessels Of Global Sumud Flotilla Depart Tunisia Bound For Gaza

The ship known as ''Family,'' which is part of the Global Sumud Flotilla and sails under the Portuguese flag, is moored at the port of Bizerte in northern Tunisia on September 13, 2025. The ships of the flotilla are expected to leave the port for Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli siege. Days earlier, the ship ''Family'' is hit by a drone strike in Tunisian waters at the port of Sidi Bou Said, according to the crew. The Global Sumud Flotilla is an international solidarity mission that brings together activists, politicians, humanitarian groups, and public figures from more than 44 countries to challenge Israel's blockade of Gaza amid ongoing attacks on the enclave.
