GLOBAL SUMUD FLEET
The Global Sumud Fleet, which is heading towards Gaza to break Israel's blockade and guarantee the opening of a humanitarian aid corridor, consists of representatives from civil society organizations, doctors, lawyers, journalists, artists, politicians, and activists from 44 different countries.
The Global Sumud Fleet, consisting of dozens of ships, has been heading towards Gaza for days. The fleet carries a significant amount of humanitarian aid, especially medical supplies. This is the largest fleet to set sail collectively towards Gaza to date.
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 and build alternative institutions through remaining on Palestinian land, keeping Palestinian identity and culture alive, and non-violent civil disobedience. In Palestine, the olive tree and a pregnant peasant woman are used to depict this concept.
