Foreign activists launch hunger strike after Israeli seizure of Gaza aid ship
Published July 28th, 2025 - 04:59 GMT Adalah also reported that five of the detainees have either been deported or are expected to be deported imminently. ALBAWABA- Foreign activists detained by Israel after their Gaza-bound aid ship was seized have launched an open-ended hunger strike in protest, according to the Adalah Legal Center. The ship, Handala, carrying essential humanitarian supplies, including baby formula, food, and medicine, was intercepted by Israeli forces off the Gaza coast on Saturday night. On board were 21 unarmed civilians, including lawmakers, healthcare workers, and volunteers from various countries. In a statement issued Monday, and reported by Anadolu News, Adalah confirmed that most of the detainees are refusing food to protest what they describe as unlawful detention. "The continued detention of these civilian activists, who were forcibly taken from international waters, constitutes a grave violation of international law," the organization stated, demanding their immediate release ahead of court hearings scheduled the same day at Givon Prison in Ramla, central Israel. 🚢 Foreign activists aboard a Gaza aid ship seized by Israel launch an open-ended hunger strike to protest their detention ➡️ The Handala ship, carrying baby formula, food, and medicine, was intercepted near Gaza with 21 civilians on board — Anadolu English (@anadoluagency) July 28, 2025 Adalah also reported that five of the detainees have either been deported or are expected to be deported imminently. The Handala was launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) from Italy in an effort to break Israel's months-long blockade of Gaza, where 2.4 million residents are facing a deepening famine. The mission is the latest in a series of humanitarian flotillas intercepted by Israel in international waters. In June, Israeli forces seized the ship Madleen, detaining 12 international activists, including prominent climate activist Greta Thunberg and French Member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan. In May, the MV Conscience was attacked by drones near Malta. Israel has maintained an 18-year blockade on Gaza and has fully sealed all crossings since March 2, 2025, blocking humanitarian convoys despite urgent international appeals. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, at least 147 Palestinians, 88 of them children, have died of starvation since October 2023.

The siege has sparked global outrage and led to growing legal pressure on Israel. In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Separately, Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza. As hunger and despair mount, the hunger strike by detained foreign activists draws renewed international attention to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and the mounting legal and moral scrutiny facing Israel. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Netanyahu wrote in the video's caption, "There is no starvation in Gaza, no policy of starvation in Gaza, and I assure you that we have a commitment to achieve our war goals." He added, "We will continue to fight till we achieve the release of our hostages and the destruction of Hamas' military and governing capabilities. They shall be there no more."

A social media user wrote on X under the video, "Our eyes tell us the opposite." Another Israeli social media user added, showcasing discontent with the current government, "You are a war criminal. STOP the war. Bring back all the hostages. Resign." The ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip has resulted in the killing of at least 59,000 Palestinians and the injuring of more than 144,000. Additionally, the starvation in Gaza has left 147 people dead, of whom 88 are children. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

25 Jordanian aid trucks enter Gaza — JHCO
AMMAN — Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) Hussein Shibli said on Monday that 25 food aid trucks have entered the besieged Gaza Strip, as part of Jordan's continued humanitarian relief efforts. In an interview with Al Mamlaka TV, Shibli said that 25 out of a planned 60 trucks had crossed into Gaza, despite persistent Israeli restrictions and repeated settler attacks. He added that preparations are underway to dispatch another convoy of 60 trucks, part of a broader plan to send a total of 180 trucks carrying essential supplies to the war-torn enclave. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing to secure Israeli approval for the entry of as many aid trucks as possible, Shibli noted, underlining that the aid is urgently needed amid dire shortages of food, water, and medical supplies caused by the ongoing blockade. 'This convoy is part of Jordan's steadfast commitment, led by His Majesty King Abdullah, the government, and the people, to stand by the Palestinians and provide life-saving assistance to Gaza,' the JHCO said. Meanwhile, the Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF), in cooperation with the UAE, carried out three humanitarian airdrops into Gaza on Sunday. The airdrops, which targeted multiple locations across the Strip, are part of Jordan's broader relief campaign in partnership with allied countries and international humanitarian organisations. According to a JAF statement, the operation aims to ease the suffering of Gaza's residents and help them cope with the devastating impact of the war. "While airdrops offer a critical means of reaching hard-to-access areas, Jordan continues to prioritise overland aid deliveries, which remain the most effective method for delivering large quantities of relief supplies," Shebli said. Jordan has been at the forefront of regional humanitarian efforts since the onset of the Israeli military campaign on Gaza in October 2023, continuing to send aid and advocate for urgent international action to address the worsening humanitarian catastrophe.
