Just some of our people on the flotilla.
Follow live here: https://globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/
Some of the flotilla post regular video updates online too, but Irish TikToker @irishkai98 is doing a stellar job of monitoring them all and making summary updates. They are live at this very moment.
And above all, please email our political leaders. They have been very weak on this issue and some even voted down motions to deliver consequences to Israel:
President of Ireland

Taoiseach

everyone aboard is doing the work that our government(s) refuse to! ádh mór ar achan duine 🙌
i also want to add that kai’s pronouns are they/them; fair play to them for keeping a close eye on the tracker & ensuring it stays on everyone’s radar!
I’ve updated my post, thank you very much for the correction 🙏
The flotilla have been boarded, unfortunately. I still hope that they can fully complete their mission and especially that they return safely.
Couldn’t find anything on a boarding. Have you a link perchance?
Tracker site still has them sailing.
Kai is just ending their live now, but the Alma has been seized and the crew are unaccounted for. That boat has an international crew including at least one from Ireland.
As of today, Sarah Clancy has been in contact with her home newspaper and she expects an attack “within minutes” soon https://clarechampion.ie/breaking-israeli-warship-move-to-intercept-flotilla-carrying-two-clare-residents/
I’ll try and share links to the other live streams next time Kai shares them (theyr’re a good canonical source for all this, but I appreciate not everyone is on TikTok). I know there are live streams on Youtube and Instagram too. Some of those are crew and some are observers.
Many thanks. I suppose it was to be expected but still shit. Absolute champs for giving it a go and I suppose it’s not over yet.

That link might interest you. 9 of the boats appear to have been intercepted but some have made it to the second red zone.
Update: 31 boats remain and continue towards Gaza. The last time the siege was broken by sea was in 2008. (Info from @rubygu_ live stream on TikTok).
The seized boats have had their crews abducted, including an Irish senator. Attacks by Israeli ships and speed boats continue.
