Global Unity in Resistance to Gaza SiegeThe Samud Flotilla from 47 nations sailed in September 2025 amid rising global pressure to end Gaza’s siege.
- The Samud Flotilla launched in September 2025 from Tunisia, comprising vessels from over 47 countries aiming to break Gaza’s blockade.
- Spain implemented a full arms embargo and restricted military-related flights and shipments to Israel starting 8 September.
- Dockworkers in Europe and South Africa have actively refused to handle military cargo destined for Israel, though coal shipments from Richards Bay continue.
- South Africa led by bringing Israel before the International Court of Justice and forming a coalition to challenge Israeli impunity.
The Samud Flotilla is, as Adler explained to me, one tactic among many: not large enough to resolve a humanitarian catastrophe, but powerful in symbolism and intent.— David Adler describes the significance of the Samud Flotilla in the context of resistance against occupation and genocide in Gaza.

- Six South African activists were held for six days in Israel after their flotilla carrying aid to Gaza was intercepted.

- 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.
I feel disappointed because I don’t feel we accomplished the mission, because we were kidnapped before we could do so and one of the things that will stay forever with me is the image of the Palestinian children — the people in Gaza waiting hopeful that we would arrive and then we didn’t.— Zukiswa Wanner, a journalist and novelist, spoke to the Mail & Guardian on the sidelines of the press conference.
