We call upon the international community to urgently uphold international law and ensure the immediate release of the Freedom Flotilla humanitarian vessel the Madleen along with its crew.
The ship was illegally seized in international waters by Israeli forces off the coast of Gaza as it attempted to break the long standing blockade preventing the delivery of life saving aid and food by sea.
The Israeli Government continues to enforce a full blockade by land and sea of aid and food from international organisations, compounding an already catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Blocking aid and targeting those who deliver it are grave violations of international humanitarian law.
What can you do?

There is a call to action from the Freedom Flotilla crew to put pressure on the governments of the activists.Wherever you are from, you can join this global mobilisation.The following list contains authorities’ contact information. You can: use the contact form on their website, email them, or tag them on social media to demand that they protect their citizens.
