Flotilla’s Handala is sailing! It has stopped at European ports in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and is making its way through Europe on its way to break the illegal blockade of Gaza.

We will also conduct educational and solidarity events around the world, to publicize the flotilla and the situation on the ground. Please check back on this page for updates.
