Freedom Flotilla Coalition
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is a grassroots international solidarity movement formed in 2010 responsible for numerous Gaza Freedom Flotillas. It coordinates civilian-led aid missions by sea to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition was formed following Israel's raid on the 2010 Gaza Freedom Flotilla, ended in the death of nine activists on board in international waters. Since then, it has organized efforts aimed at raising global awareness of the humanitarian needs of Gaza and demanded unrestricted maritime access to deliver essential aid. In addition, the coalition has demanded an end to the Israeli occupation and that the international community act to hold Israel accountable for its violations of human rights and international law.
Israeli authorities have regularly thwarted the coalition's attempts, seizing—sometimes destroying—cargos and ships. Passengers and crews are often detained, though they have been killed in some instances. There have been multiple reports of drone attacks on flotillas, including an unconfirmed attack in May 2025, and over a dozen separate attacks reported against the Global Sumud Flotilla in September 2025, when Israeli submarine-released drones dropped various chemical devices, incendiary devices, and explosives onto the ships of the flotilla.

Flotillas
Gaza Freedom Flotilla vessels and convoys have attempted to break the blockade of Gaza since 2010. The first flotilla with six ships was launched by what would then become the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, and were subsequently raided by Israeli forces. Since then, attempts with the Freedom Flotilla II in 2011, Freedom Flotilla III in 2015, Women's Boat to Gaza in 2016, Just Future for Palestine Flotilla in 2018, and flotillas in June and July 2025, have all been intercepted, raided or attacked by Israeli forces. In August, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition joined the Global Sumud Flotilla, and began launching a series of flotilla convoys towards Gaza.Members
