'Things are calm here': Global Sumud Flotilla mission continues journey to Gaza


KUALA LUMPUR: The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) remains stable and continues its journey to Gaza, with participants urging the public to stay calm amid reports of a brief disruption.

Malaysian humanitarian activist Nurfarahin Romli, 32, known as Farah Lee, said a communications issue affecting one of the vessels on Tuesday (Sept 30) was quickly resolved, with the flotilla now proceeding as planned.

"Things are calm here. We’re sharing this not to alarm, but to keep everyone informed.

"Don’t worry about us. Keep praying for the people of Gaza and others facing oppression around the world,” she said in a video posted on social media.

Farah said all participants received comprehensive pre-departure training, covering physical, emotional, legal and media preparedness to ensure they were ready for any scenario.

The GSF mission includes 34 Malaysians and activists from 45 countries, aiming to break the blockade on Gaza.

The flotilla is crossing the Mediterranean Sea, carrying food, medical supplies and a message of peace calling for an end to war and famine, as well as demanding the opening of humanitarian corridors into the besieged territory. — Bernama
