On April 12, 2026, the largest flotilla in support of Gaza in history will depart from the port of Barcelona, followed by other ports, heading to Palestine.

The Flotilla will carry more than 1,000 healthcare professionals in response to the systematic destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system by the State of Israel. In Gaza today:

  • 34 out of 36 hospitals have been partially or totally destroyed.
  • There is an active blockade that restricts the entry of essential medicines and medical equipment.
  • Healthcare workers are operating under extremely difficult conditions and without support.
  • Over 20,000 Palestinians require urgent treatment abroad and are not allowed to leave.

In response to the situation, the Flotilla will carry urgently needed medicines and equipment, as well as healthcare workers who will join Palestinian doctors’ efforts in the midst of genocide.

The Flotilla will also be joined by the search and rescue ship of the organization Open Arms. Open Arms has saved 70,000 migrants fleeing war, persecution, or hunger while navigating the Mediterranean. In 2024, Open Arms joined the World Central Kitchen organization on two aid missions to Gaza. The first succeeded in delivering 200 tons of food to the Palestinian population that was being annihilated by Israel’s starvation policy. The second mission, however, was cowardly attacked by Israel with several missiles, killing seven people on a humanitarian mission.

Despite the rhetoric of ceasefire, the blockade and genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel continue. Only the unity and collaboration of all of us who stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people will be able to stop the genocide.
