The Egyptian government is obstructing the "Sumud flotilla"
The Egyptian government is blocking the dispatch of the "Sumud" humanitarian flotilla, organized by local activists to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip.
The flotilla, consisting of several ships, plans to deliver humanitarian aid to the beleaguered Gazans. The name "Sumud" - "Fortitude" - also signifies solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Despite the initiative from Egyptian citizens, the government is blocking its implementation. Activists and human rights defenders are criticizing the government's "treasonous actions."
