The mission is expected to include thousands of participants, with over 1,000 medical professionals such as doctors and nurses. The flotilla will depart from Barcelona, with additional stops in Tunisia, Italy, and other Mediterranean ports.
Organizers are urging the international community to prevent interference by Israeli forces. The previous mission in October, which involved around 40 boats, was halted by Israeli military forces.

The flotilla will be supported by a land convoy attracting thousands of activists from various countries, including Tunisia and Egypt. Organizers emphasize that they are protected by international law.
Despite a ceasefire agreement in October that promised increased humanitarian aid, supplies to Gaza remain insufficient. The upcoming mission aims to address this shortfall by delivering necessary aid to the region.
