The Freedom Flotilla is a coalition of non-governmental organizations and institutions from many countries around the world that came together to take off the embargo on Gaza by sea. The coalition stands against all forms of injustice and oppression wherever on earth and against whomever; it fights against all policies that render human beings in need of material and moral help. It is in solidarity with every individual and organization representing the common conscience of the world in all economic, legal, cultural and social fields. It supports people who are victimized by the ongoing occupations, injustices or natural disasters in the Palestinian territories in all material and moral issues. It aims for justice to prevail in the world by spreading the feelings of brotherhood, compassion, cooperation and solidarity all over the world.The Zionist terrorist forces, which have been implementing a policy of blood, gunpowder and tears in the Palestinian territories for the last 75 years, increased their acts of occupation and genocide in the region after October 7, 2023 and massacred nearly 40,000 people in five months.The world conscience stood up against the ongoing genocide in Palestine and decided to launch a flotilla to break the naval blockade imposed by the occupation regime on Gaza and to deliver humanitarian aid quickly.

The goal of the flotilla is to take off the blockade on Gaza and to ensure that humanitarian aid materials prepared in accordance with international customs rules are delivered to Gaza. In this context, at the first stage, it is aimed to deliver 5,500 tons of humanitarian aid prepared.The Freedom Flotilla Coalition has expressed its desire to reach Gaza directly on every platform. The Coalition has also taken it upon itself to put pressure on all elements in the region to accelerate the passage of thousands of humanitarian aid containers waiting at the Egyptian/Refah border crossing, Gaza's only gateway to the world, into Gaza territory. In this context, not only Gaza ports, but all ports close to Gaza are an option for the Freedom Flotilla. The most beneficial route and port will be determined by the Logistics Committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, taking into account all possibilities for the benefit of Gaza.

Turkiye is one of the most important countries in this process, as it is one of the stopping points for the ships and activists who will mobilize around the world for the people of Gaza. There is also an intensive coordination process in other countries about the flotilla.IHH and Mavi Marmara Association, which are organizing the Turkish leg of the flotilla, are carrying out activities such as the purchase of the ships to be included in the flotilla, the supply of aid materials to be carried by cargo ships, the acceptance of in-kind donations, and the organization of rallies and demonstrations that will attract public attention to Gaza. The most important task for volunteers and organizations in this process is to explain - without getting lost in different agendas - how important it is for humanity and regional peace to take actions that will end the blockade in the Mediterranean and the Gaza Strip through organizations that will raise awareness.
