John – Israel has intercepted another fleet of Freedom Flotilla Coalition vessels en route to deliver desperately needed aid to the people in Gaza, seizing more than $110,000 in medicines, respiratory equipment, and nutritional supplies.

This systematic campaign to block and seize humanitarian aid destined for Gaza is starving more than 2 million people, mostly children.

In this dire moment as the ceasefire hangs by a thread and there's no telling when the suffocating blockade will be lifted, humanitarian aid flotillas are a last hope for the people in Gaza. And right now they’re under attack.

But we can help keep the hope alive.

We’re launching the Gaza Flotilla Fund – an all out campaigning effort to help break Israel’s blockade. If enough of us chip in, we can work urgently to help with mounting legal costs, support the demonstrations popping up at ports and embassies across Europe, run national and EU-wide advocacy campaigns that push lawmakers to protect their citizens on aid flotillas…and so much more!

Our global community has a chance to unite behind a real and direct challenge to Israel’s illegal siege. Together we can keep hope alive for the people of Gaza and campaign for the rights and dignity of people there and everywhere. Can you chip in to help?

The United Nations commission of inquiry has ruled that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Under international law, this makes it not just a moral duty but a legal obligation for governments around the world to act and stop the genocide, prevent further atrocities, and protect those working to deliver humanitarian aid.

Our governments are failing – watching as Israel continues intercepting peaceful aid ships, even in international waters. There is even video footage showing Israeli forces storming boats and detaining activists, which human rights experts warn violates international law.

But public outcry erupts each time Israel intercepts an aid vessel. And as more ships set sail, the hope of aid reaching Gaza's shores grows.

One boat, The Mikeno, broke through Israel's blockade and made it into Gaza's waters. Although it was eventually intercepted, it showed us the power of having dozens of boats working together. What if there were hundreds of boats?

Our global community can be a force behind this powerful challenge to Israel's blockade and help aid break through. If enough of us chip in, we can make this flotilla movement unstoppable – and continue campaigning for the rights and dignity of people everywhere.
