Of 42 ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla, one made it into the waters outside Gaza. It remains unknown whether they made it to Gaza or if they have been arrested by the Israeli navy just when they were about to enter.

While not officially confirmed, the following footage allegedly shows their arrival in Gaza:

edit: It seems this post has been taken down, it was probably a video from another occasion.

Other sources claim that the Mikeno too has been captured by Israel: https://mastodon.social/@Al_Quds_News14/115303483176696689

According to Israel via Al Jazeera, they have seized “all but one” of the vessels carrying aid:

This could refer to the Marinette, which is still just north of Cairo, or to the Mikeno, whose status is not confirmed:

Update:

It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel “Mikeno” was seized by the Israeli Navy.

The captain, a hero, defied direct Israeli orders to shut his engine down and seize progression. He then went completely dark, shutting off all electronics and maneuvering past their blockade. The “Mikeno” made it within 7NM of the coast of Gaza. The ship was then intercepted, seized, and boarded by naval commandos deployed from multiple Israeli warships with drones flying overhead.

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do more research, I knew the situation in Sudan was bad but to see it has killed 100x more than the ‘genocide’ in Gaza has:

    Famine alone has killed an estimated 522,000 children, while the overall death toll of the war, including fatalities from violence, starvation, and disease, is even higher; thousands more remain missing or have been killed in targeted massacres, primarily attributed to the RSF and allied militias.[45][47] At least 61,000 people have died in Khartoum State alone, of which 26,000 were a direct result of the violence.[55] As of 5 February 2025, over 8.8 million were internally displaced and more than 3.5 million others had fled the country as refugees.[48]

    The numbers are staggering.

      No point arguing with .ml’s, they’re bad faith actors and social disruptors. Quite literally everything you’ve said is true, validly supported by reasoning, and a reasonable position.

      I don’t have money to donate, but I’d never donate to an org if I thought there was even a CHANCE it would end up in the hands if or for the benefit of globally recognized terrorists.
