The 2024 Gaza freedom flotilla is a planned international humanitarian relief effort organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. It is scheduled to leave from Turkey in April 2024 and bring aid to the Gaza Strip amidst the Israel–Hamas war and Gaza Strip famine. In mid-April, activists from the United States traveled to Turkey with plans to join the flotilla.[1][2][3]
According to its organizers, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition includes the İHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation and many participants are affiliated with the NGO.[4][5] Some Israeli media have reported that the flotilla is overseen by IHH,[6] a conservative Turkish GNGO. Fehmi Bülent Yıldırım, the president of IHH, stated in a press briefing that the convoy, with ships from Turkey, Lebanon, and Libya, plans to initially dock at the Egyptian city of Arish before heading to Rafah. Ynet reports that the initiative has received the green light from Turkish authorities, with Turkey's intelligence chief involved in its arrangement.[7]
The departure of the flotilla was repeatedly delayed; it had been scheduled to leave on 26 April. Organizers said that the flotilla could not depart that day because Israel was pressuring Guinea-Bissau to withdraw the flag from one of the ships in the flotilla, and also stated that the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany were trying to pressure Turkey into not allowing the ship to depart.[8]
