Hi there,

We need independent media more than ever. When we cover war and peace, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers. When we cover the climate catastrophe, we’re not brought to you by the oil, gas and coal companies. When we cover inequality, we’re not brought to you by the banks and other financial institutions. We’re brought to you by you, the listener, the reader and the viewer. If you want Democracy Now! to keep bringing you the stories that matter most, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

New Gaza Freedom Flotilla Ship “Handala” to Set Sail from Italy

HeadlineJul 10, 2025

A new ship from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition is planning to set sail from Italy Sunday in hopes of breaking the siege on Gaza. Chris Smalls, founder of Amazon’s first U.S. labor union, has announced he’ll join the journey aboard an aid ship named the Handala. Meanwhile, a Spanish passenger who traveled on the Madleen last month has filed a war crimes complaint against Israel over its violent raid on June 8 of the Gaza-bound aid ship while in international waters.
