Blocking aid and targeting those who attempt to deliver it are likewise unlawful. We are extremely alarmed about the illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla by Israeli forces 600 nautical miles off the shore of Gaza, in international waters. We are also deeply concerned about the safety and wellbeing of crew members and people on board of the Global Sumud Flotilla vessels that have been arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Crew aboard&nbsp; the Greenpeace International vessel <em>Arctic Sunrise<\/em> report that vessels in the Global Sumud Flotilla were harassed by Israeli forces in international waters at a distance of&nbsp; 45 nautical miles west of the Greek island of Kythira and approximately 600 nautical miles from Gaza on the night of 30 April 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>A radio warning was received by the Global Sumud vessels at 18:43 UTC (21:43 local time) on the international distress channel (16), with the sender identifying themselves as the Israeli Navy and demanding that the flotilla change course. This was followed by jamming of communication channels, which put the flotilla at risk in open sea. Jamming included VHF maritime emergency SOS communication, VHF channels for flotilla coordination, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Iridium bands. At the time of writing, communication has been completely lost with several flotilla vessels.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Global Sumud Flotilla is an international initiative aimed at ending Israel\u2019s illegal blockade on Gaza and&nbsp; delivering humanitarian aid in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Greenpeace is calling on all governments to act with urgency to uphold international law and ensure the protection of the Global Sumud Flotilla through concrete measures to ensure its safe passage to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Al- Hattab added: \u201cWe have always stood, and continue to stand, in solidarity with the people of Gaza, against whom the Israeli government continues to impose a total land and sea blockade. Peaceful humanitarian initiatives must be respected and protected at all times and under all circumstances\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe renew our call on world leaders to take immediate and concrete action in response to the genocide being committed by Israel against the people of Gaza, an escalation reflected in what is happening to the Global Sumud Fleet today. The continued failure of the international community to enforce international law makes it complicit in responsibility for Israel\u2019s actions,\u201d she concluded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-mission\">About the Mission:<\/h4>\n\n<p>At a time when global attention continues to shift, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains critical, and ensuring consistent, safe, and unrestricted access to aid is more urgent than ever. Across the Greenpeace network, offices including Greenpeace MENA, Greenpeace International, Greenpeace Italy, Greenpeace Spain, and other national and regional organisations are supporting this effort. This participation comes in response to a request from the Global Sumud Flotilla organisers, contributing to Arctic Sunrise\u2019s maritime technical expertise.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Interview

More than nine years have passed since I joined the team at Greenpeace, and it seems like just yesterday! I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that our team is special, in how we work together, how we relate to each other, how we resolve our differences and even how we express our frustration. It has always been great to end the day with an outing with the team, or a heated debate about current events. A week in the office was never complete without some kind of activity that brought us together as people, celebrating our passion for life, hobbies and interests, and - I must admit, several practical jokes! Moving our work online has definitely had an impact on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and external partners Somehow it feels like we\u2019ve been invited to become part of each other\u2019s lives at home: parents, partners, children and pets have now become regular guests on our video calls. I\u2019m proud to be working with a team that appreciates all its members in all the colour and diversity they bring to the table!

More than nine years have passed since I joined the team at Greenpeace, and it seems like just yesterday! I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that our team is special, in how we work together, how we relate to each other, how we resolve our differences and even how we express our frustration. It has always been great to end the day with an outing with the team, or a heated debate about current events. A week in the office was never complete without some kind of activity that brought us together as people, celebrating our passion for life, hobbies and interests, and - I must admit, several practical jokes! Moving our work online has definitely had an impact on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and external partners Somehow it feels like we\u2019ve been invited to become part of each other\u2019s lives at home: parents, partners, children and pets have now become regular guests on our video calls. I\u2019m proud to be working with a team that appreciates all its members in all the colour and diversity they bring to the table!
