Gaza’s last lifeline road under threat as Israeli forces advance
As the Israeli military intercepts the Global Sumud Flotilla attempting to deliver vitally needed humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, inside the besieged enclave Israeli forces continue to attack vital lifelines needed by the local population.
On Wednesday, the Israeli military said it planned to close the al-Rashid coastal road, the only functioning route connecting Gaza City in the north to the south, and used by tens of thousands of Palestinians to flee Israel’s all-out military assault on the north of the territory.
Video clip appears to show Israeli water cannon hitting flotilla ship
The flotilla has shared video footage appearing to show the Yulara vessel being hit by Israeli water cannon during its interception and boarding by Israeli forces earlier tonight.
Sharing a video clip of the apparent Israeli raid at sea, the Global Sumud Flotilla said all communication with the vessel was cut, and the “status of the participants and crew remains unconfirmed”.
“This is an illegal attack on unarmed humanitarians. We call on governments and international institutions to demand their immediate safety and release,” the flotilla organisers said.
