- Six South African activists were held for six days in Israel after their flotilla carrying aid to Gaza was intercepted.
- They described harsh treatment and the daily humiliation faced by Palestinians under the ongoing siege.
- The group called on international governments to take concrete steps to secure the release of detained activists.
- Plans are underway to organize a second flotilla to continue delivering humanitarian aid and challenge the blockade.
