Moroccan civil society groups will take part in the “Global Flotilla of Steadfastness” aimed at breaking the blockade on Gaza, organizers confirmed this week.
Morocco’s presence will include one fully Moroccan vessel and a second shared with activists from Algeria and Tunisia, within a fleet involving participants from more than 44 countries.
The ships are scheduled to depart from Spain on August 31 and Tunisia on September 4.
Organizers said Moroccan participants include doctors, nurses, academics, journalists, engineers and public figures, in addition to an all-Moroccan sailing crew.
A second team will provide logistical, media and advocacy support onshore.
The initiative is coordinated by international coalitions such as the Global Movement for Gaza and the Freedom Flotilla.
Objectives include drawing attention to civilian suffering, challenging the blockade, and delivering symbolic humanitarian aid. A planned press conference in Rabat was cancelled due to travel and training commitments.
