Episode Description

In this urgent and timely episode, I am joined by Mary, the national lead for the UK delegation of the Global Sumud Flotilla. Mary provides a direct update on the recent drone strike against one of the ships and shares the core objectives of this nonviolent humanitarian mission. 

We discuss the international legal context surrounding the flotilla, the historical significance of this action, and why ordinary citizens are stepping up where governments have failed.  This conversation is a crucial resource for understanding what is happening at sea and how we, as a global community, can support the call to end the siege on Gaza.
