As Israeli forces intercept the Global Sumud Flotilla, Greenpeace calls for the Government of Israel to allow the peaceful aid mission to continue unmolested in its mission to deliver aid to Gaza.

Greenpeace calls upon Governments around the world to defend the right of their citizens to sail to Gaza unmolested through international and Palestinian waters to deliver lifesaving humanitarian aid.

The international community must ensure the safety of the flotilla and bring the genocide to an end.
