In the heart of the Middle East, the situation in Gaza continues to be a source of concern for the international community. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been promoting an imperial vision for a "Greater Israel", which has been met with protests from various quarters.

The ongoing blockade of Gaza by Israel has led to a severe humanitarian crisis, with hunger becoming a pressing issue in Gaza City. The Israeli government is being held responsible for the lack of adequate aid in the region, as they continue to deny free access to foreign journalists and aid organisations.

In response to this crisis, activists from around the world have taken action. The "Global Sumud Flotilla" is a media event that aims to deliver aid to the people of Gaza. Unlike traditional forms of activism, such as donating money or signing petitions, the activists of this flotilla are engaging in more tangible forms of support.

One of the boats leading the flotilla is captained by Tunisian captain Abdulrahman Allizam, who set sail from Tunisia. Notable among the passengers on this fleet is Greta Thunberg, the young environmental activist who has made headlines worldwide.

The Israeli navy has previously boarded a boat carrying Greta Thunberg and returned her to Sweden. Despite this, the activists remain undeterred, highlighting the proximity of Gaza to the rest of the world and the urgency of action.

The hunger in Gaza is not a natural disaster, but a man-made crisis. Aid is possible, yet the Israeli government's actions are contributing to the ongoing crisis. The denial of free access to foreign journalists and aid organisations in the Gaza Strip remains a scandal that the international community must address.

The actions of the Global Sumud Flotilla serve as a reminder of the power of civil society in effecting change. The strategic, smart protest, as demonstrated by the civil rights movement in the US and the boycott movement against Apartheid South Africa, can be effective in bringing about change.

Western allies have not taken effective measures against Israel's illegal warfare, and it is time for them to step up and take action. Protest against the current reality in Gaza is more urgent than ever, and the Global Sumud Flotilla is a testament to the global solidarity and determination to bring about change.
