Humanitarian weakness: Israel blocks Russian supplies to Gaza

The sector was effectively cut off from shipments of food and basic necessities.

Earlier, on October 2, large-scale protests began around the world after the Israeli military intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which was heading with humanitarian cargo to the Gaza Strip. So, thousands of actions were held in Athens, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, as well as in Rome and other Italian cities.

Prior to that, on October 1, it was reported that the Israeli military had boarded the flotilla ships. At least nine vessels are currently known to have been intercepted.
