Pro-Palestinian Protest 'Alert For Gaza! SOS For The Flotilla' In Krakow
Participants in the pro-Palestinian protest ''Alarm for Gaza! SOS for the Flotilla'' express solidarity with the humanitarian operation organized by the Global Sumud Flotilla, whose members are intercepted by Israeli forces, while standing in the Main Market Square on October 2, 2025, in Krakow, Poland. Ships from more than 40 countries set sail for the Gaza Strip to break Israel's blockade of the region and deliver humanitarian aid to civilians. The flotilla also aims to draw attention to what the organizers call Israel's illegal blockade. The mission is organized by the Global Sumud Flotilla with support from the Global Movement to Gaza. On October 1, Israeli forces intercept part of the flotilla in international waters. Among those on board are four Polish citizens, including MP Franek Sterczewski. Protesters claim the ships are illegally seized and that the Polish nationals are being unlawfully detained. They demand their release and an immediate response from the Polish government. The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) and a UN commission state that Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip meet the legal definition of genocide. (Photo by Klaudia Radecka/NurPhoto)
