This Israeli attack on the Sumud Flotilla, which was approximately 250 miles off the coast of Gaza and carrying activists and civilians from over 70 countries, is not the first.

These piratical interventions in international waters are against all of humanity.

This is a crime; this barbarity, which uses hunger as a weapon, targets aid corridors, and murders women, children, and civilians, must be stopped.

We call on international institutions, all people and countries with a conscience not to remain silent in the face of these lawless attacks.
