Global Sumud Land Convoy Advances Overland to Break Siege on Gaza
NEWS, 18 May 2026 Global Sumud Flotilla - TRANSCEND Media Service 17 May 2026 – At a press conference held today in Zalitan, Libya, international human rights leaders and grassroots advocates united to declare that “Gaza is not alone” as the Global Sumud Land Convoy advances overland toward Rafah. Moving in tandem with the Global Sumud Flotilla at sea, the convoy’s speakers addressed the critical urgency of the mission, the complicity and participation of global governments, and the growing, unstoppable civil society movement to confront israel’s illegal siege and ongoing genocide in Gaza, and the 78 years of ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestine. The specialized, grassroots land convoy—comprising more than 30 vehicles, including 7 specialized ambulances and transport vehicles, as well as 20 mobile homes—carries over 200 participants representing more than 25 countries across North Africa and around the world..

We are here to urge the world to uplift and amplify the voices of Gaza and do our best to try to break the illegal siege imposed upon it, ” Bekar said.
