Volunteers Detained in Libya, Global Sumud Flotilla Ends Aid Mission to Gaza by Land

JAKARTA – The pro-Palestinian Sumud Armada (Global Sumud Flotilla) ended its mission to deliver land aid to the Gaza Strip after several of its members were detained in Libya while trying to negotiate travel access to Egypt.

“The Global Sumud Land Convoy was forced to end its ground humanitarian mission to Gaza after the detention of 10 representatives who were trying to negotiate a safe route for the convoy to Egypt,” the Sumud Armada statement said, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, May 29.

The activists claimed that the authorities in eastern Libya asked that the aid be handed over to the Libyan Red Crescent to be sent to Egypt, referring to an order from Egyptian authorities.

The statement added that Global Sumud continued to try to negotiate access across the border, before finally having its representatives detained.
