# Pro-Palestinian activists are preparing to set sail from Spain on Sunday for Gaza in dozens of boats carrying aid. Hundreds of people from 44 countries, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, are due to depart from several ports to Gaza as part of the largest ever flotilla of this kind. They have called on governments to pressure Israel to allow the boats through the naval blockade. In June, Israeli naval forces boarded and seized a British-flagged yacht carrying Thunberg, among others. Israel dismissed the aid ship as a propaganda stunt in support of Hamas.
