Tunis, Tunisia – At 61 Station Street, downtown Tunis, volunteers are busy receiving and documenting donations for the Maghreb Sumud Flotilla – one of four organising groups of the Global Sumud Flotilla, aiming to break Israel’s siege on Gaza.
The initial plan was for the boats to set sail from Tunis on Thursday. But the Tunisian boats will have to wait until the Spanish flotilla – led by, among others, the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg – that set off from Barcelona on Monday arrives, having been delayed as a result of a storm.
