 Moroccans joins Maghreb fleet sailing Wednesday to break Gaza blockade
Tuesday 9 September 2025 - 16:34

Organizers of the “Maghreb Solidarity Fleet” aimed at breaking the Gaza blockade announced Tuesday that ships, including two carrying Moroccan participation, will set sail Wednesday morning.

The confirmation came during a press conference in Tunis attended by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.

The announcement follows claims that one of the boats was struck by a drone while docked near the Tunisian capital, an allegation denied by Tunisia’s National Guard, which attributed a small fire on board to an accident.

“We will not be stopped by talk of attacks. Our determination is immense,” said Moroccan participant Fatima Zahra Bellin, stressing the hospitality of Tunisians and the absence of restrictions from local authorities.

Organizers said Morocco’s presence includes one vessel of its own and another shared with Tunisia, in compliance with international flotilla rules requiring multinational crews. The fleet’s stated goal remains focused on “breaking the siege and standing with Gaza.”
