– A massive land convoy called Samud—meaning “steadfastness” in Arabic—departed Tunisia on June 9 with the aim of reaching Gaza and breaking Israel’s blockade. It includes more than 7,000 registered participants from across the Maghreb region, with over 1,000 activists currently on the move in 12 buses and 100 support vehicles from Tunisia. The convoy brings together doctors, lawyers, union leaders, and volunteers from across North Africa in a mass show of solidarity with Gaza.

Global March To Gaza – Walking Together, Opening Roads to Life for Gaza.

Global March to Gaza on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/globalmarchtogaza/?hl=en
MARCH TO GAZA! Join the international call aimed at opening the Rafah crossing to allow the flow of life-saving aid into Gaza.
This is a moment that requires new tactics to break the political siege on Gaza. We need to continue to increase the pressure however we can for as long as Gaza is under attack.
The situation in Gaza is unbearable and governments and international bodies have failed to intervene to deliver justice for the people of Palestine. So we must do it ourselves.
An international congregation will meet on June 15 in Egypt and will make its way towards the border with Rafah.
The march is set to begin in Cairo on June 12, after which the group will travel to Al-Arish and subsequently proceed on foot toward the Gaza border.
The marchers plan to camp at the Rafah border crossing as a form of nonviolent protest, applying peaceful pressure to open the crossing and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Join the movement and march to Gaza!
According to the organizers, the main objectives of the march include:
1. Stop the Genocide
Collective, practical action to halt ongoing Israeli crimes, especially the use of starvation as a weapon and the systematic killing of children.
2. Immediate Humanitarian Aid Access
Demand for direct and urgent entry of food, medical supplies, and essentials through the Rafah Crossing, where thousands of trucks have been stuck at the border.
3. End the Siege
Call for the unconditional opening of a stable humanitarian corridor and removal of restrictions preventing access to food, clean water, fuel, and medicine
4. Mobilize International Opinion
Unite civil societies across countries to expose war crimes, pressure governments, and engage global media in supporting justice and Palestinian human rights.
5. Accountability for War Crimes
Call for legal and ethical accountability for all parties contributing to or complicit in violations against the Palestinian people.
