Founded mid-2025, GSF includes participation from activists representing 44 countries. Notable figures like Greta Thunberg, Susan Sarandon, and Liam Cunningham are among the registered participants. With over 15,000 applicants involved, vessels are slated to depart from Spain and Tunisia in coordinated convoys.


Organizers emphasize: “This is not just about delivering aid—it’s about shining a light on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.” Preparatory events, training, and camps are underway near departure ports to ready participants for the voyage.
