Following attacks on the ships of pro-Palestinian activists delivering humanitarian goods to Gaza, Pakistan has joined the international plea for the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a civil society effort in which citizens of numerous nations are taking part.
Concerns on the safety of the aid flotilla are voiced by the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Ireland, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mexico, Oman, Qatar, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, and Turkey.
Pro-Palestinian activists on the aid flotilla hoping to lift the Israeli siege of the enclave include former senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, and Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon.
