A flotilla of ships set sail from Barcelona on Sunday carrying humanitarian aid bound for the Gaza Strip, amid intensifying Israeli military operations in the region. The maritime convoy, called the Global Sumud Flotilla, aims to breach Israel’s naval blockade and deliver food, water, and medicine to Palestinians suffering from extreme shortages.
Israel began airdrops of humanitarian aid over Gaza on Sunday, coupled with a daily ten-hour pause to allow the United Nations to distribute previously blocked relief supplies. The temporary ceasefires and expanded aid efforts mark a shift in military strategy and international coordination.
