Boats decorated with Turkish and Palestinian flags toured the strait in Çanakkale to show support for the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was attacked by Israel while carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The event, organized by the Palestine Support Platform and the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry, brought together local officials, fishermen, and citizens who chanted pro-Palestinian slogans during the tour. Platform spokesperson Zeynel Kılıç said the flotilla’s arrival in Gaza’s territorial waters symbolized the breaking of the blockade and called for continued international pressure on Israel to allow unrestricted humanitarian aid into Gaza.
