The Maldives has joined the international Flotilla Movement, a global initiative aimed at breaking the siege on Gaza and challenging the blockade imposed on the territory.

Represented locally by the International Aid Campaign (IAC), the Maldives is contributing to the movement’s mission to deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza.

The IAC has been actively engaged in aid operations for Palestine in collaboration with international partners.

The Flotilla Movement, comprising activists from around the world, launched its World Action Day on August 9.

Participants have pledged to continue their activities until the liberation of Palestine is achieved.

In the Maldives, a major rally in support of Palestinian independence is currently underway.

As part of the demonstration, divers have gone underwater to wave the Gaza and Flotilla flags, symbolising the nation’s solidarity and active participation in the cause.
