He mentioned that the International
Freedom Flotilla Alliance, which includes the International Committee to Break
the Siege on Gaza, is collaborating with the Turkish humanitarian relief
organization IHH, Jo24 reported.
Together, they aim to initiate an
international movement to support the people of Gaza by sea. This movement will
involve multiple ships carrying aid, international activists, and prominent
figures who oppose the war on Gaza.
Preparations are in full swing for this
international grassroots movement, which comes at a crucial time when the
people of Gaza are in desperate need of hope and political support. They are
advocating for their right to freedom and liberation from occupation, as well
as the freedom to travel to and from their homeland without facing restrictions
from the occupying forces.
Al-Rifaiyah explained that the
coalition's committees are working tirelessly to complete all necessary
preparations, including logistical arrangements, aid distribution plans,
participant coordination, and media campaigns. The fleet is expected to set sail
from several ports, with hundreds of activists and prominent figures from
dozens of countries worldwide taking part.
"In Jordan, we are collaborating
with partners across several Arab countries," stated Al-Rifaiyah,
emphasizing their commitment as members of the International Committee to Break
the Siege on Gaza. This collaboration, in conjunction with the Turkish
organization IHH, aims to ensure broad participation from Jordanians, building
on their past involvement, notably in the Freedom Flotilla (Mavi Marmara ship
in 2010). A dedicated team comprising colleagues and activists with prior
experience in breaking the siege on Gaza has been formed to provide assistance
and oversee operations.
Al-Rifaiyah extended an invitation to interested
parties, public figures, unions, social and media organizations, activists, and
influencers willing to participate based on specific criteria. These criteria
will be submitted to the fleet's management for selecting participants
according to allocated quotas for each country.
He stressed that the people of Gaza
deserve every effort, including the potential risks of sailing, to deliver aid
directly to them without facing restrictions imposed by the occupying forces.
This endeavor will be carried out in
collaboration with reputable charitable institutions experienced in
humanitarian efforts, aiming to serve the people of Gaza and bolster their
resilience and quality of life.
