In an operation conducted by the Israeli navy against the Global Sumud Fleet, which set sail from the Mediterranean to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, a large number of activists, including Turks, were detained. The Marniette ship, which was following the fleet from behind due to engine failure and thus escaped the attacks, is now making its way to Gaza alone. The smallest ship in the fleet has 6 passengers on board.

Israeli forces raided the Global Sumud Fleet, which set sail from the Mediterranean to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. During the raids that began around 11:00 PM on Wednesday, October 1, more than 400 activists, including 48 Turkish citizens, were detained. In a statement from the Global Sumud Fleet, it was reported that Israel intervened with all boats except for the Marinette ship.
THE ONLY HOPE THAT ESCAPED THE ATTACK
The smallest ship of the Sumud Fleet, which set out to break the Gaza blockade, the Marinette, has escaped Israel's intervention and is advancing towards Gaza alone. One of the activists on board, Sinan Akılotu, stated in an interview with CNN Türk that they were following the fleet 100 miles behind due to engine failure, and that was why they escaped the Israeli attack last night. Speaking from the boat, Akılotu said, "Let’s pray that Israel’s eyes go blind, and hopefully we reach Gaza without being seen."
"WE ARE ALL ALONE"
The ship, which has only 6 passengers, continues to advance towards Gaza alone despite the engine failure. Ömer Faruk Narlı, a mechanical engineer and Gaza volunteer on board, stated, "We are continuing on our way. We are in the area where the Global Sumud Fleet is being raided. We do not know what the next hours will bring. We cannot predict what will happen in 1 or 5 minutes. We are all alone."
"WE ARE PRAYING, WE WILL TRY TO BREAK THE BLOCKADE"
Emphasizing that they are an "open target," Narlı noted: "Today, something was published by the Israeli Ministry of Defense expressing 'We are waiting for the last ship.' So we are an open target. We are praying, and we will try to break the blockade. I cannot predict what the next hours will bring."
MESSAGE FROM THE BOAT
During the live broadcast of the boat's journey, activists sent messages with notes written on papers. The papers read, "Thank you to everyone watching. We love your support. It makes us feel safer."
