The flotilla will transport delegations from over 40 countries, including Malaysia, the US, Brazil, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, the Netherlands, and Colombia. The delegations have already started their non-violence training in preparation for the Global Sumud Flotilla. 

The flotilla will be the largest civilian maritime mission to Gaza since 2007. Like Madleen and Handala, GSF aims to break Israel's ongoing humanitarian blockade of the enclave and highlight the international complicity in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in the Strip.
