American activist Hannah Smith told Middle East Eye that she is joining the Global Sumud Flotilla to amplify her advocacy, as governments worldwide and international organisations have failed to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Smith sent a message of solidarity to the Palestinian people in Gaza, stating that although the international community has failed them, “the free people of the world stand with Palestine.”

She also thanked Palestinian journalists who have been killed and are risking their lives “to tell the truth.”

“What you’ve done is not just report on Palestine; you have awakened the entire world,” Smith said.

Dozens of boats and ships from over 40 countries will set sail on 31 August to reach the shores of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid. This mission is set to be the largest maritime civilian effort since Israel’s siege began in 2007.
