Following the call, the Ministry of National Defense took action. The Ministry of National Defense stated that 11 people, including 3 Turks, were evacuated from the Sumud Fleet.
GLOBAL SUMUD FLEET
The Global Sumud Fleet, consisting of representatives from civil society organizations, doctors, lawyers, journalists, artists, politicians, and activists from 44 different countries, has been heading towards Gaza for days. The fleet carries a significant amount of humanitarian aid, especially medical supplies.
Unless there is an Israeli attack, the fleet is expected to reach Gaza tomorrow morning, and it is the largest fleet to have set out collectively towards Gaza so far.
Sumud, which means "steadfastness" or "unyielding determination" in Arabic, has become a term that describes the oppression and resistance among the Palestinian people following the Six-Day War in 1967.
The concept of Sumud expresses the search for ways to resist occupation by remaining on Palestinian land, keeping Palestinian identity and culture alive, and building alternative institutions through non-violent civil disobedience. In Palestine, the olive tree and pregnant peasant women are used to depict this concept.
