It has been a weekend full of activity in Barcelona, especially for the organizers and participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla. Since Friday, August 29, the Moll de la Fusta has hosted the activities prepared by the organization before its scheduled departure on Sunday 31, when more than twenty boats set sail towards Gaza. Hundreds of activists and volunteers from forty-four different nationalities are taking part. People like you and me, who leave their families behind to join this humanitarian action that seeks to bring about a change in the behavior of governments worldwide in the face of the genocide perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people.

In just two months, a joint action has been organized that brings together different entities under the Global Sumud Flotilla, the largest so far. More than fifty boats, departing from different Mediterranean ports, will converge at sea to reach the coast of Gaza. There are all kinds of vessels, some more fragile than others. And the truth is, one must move forward with what is available. This is the work that governments should be doing, since they have the resources to sail safely and open a new humanitarian corridor to Gaza. But, in the face of their inaction, all the responsibility falls on the people, on those who work to live with dignity. Governments, however, are not aligned with the interests of the people, and we cannot wait for them to react.
