Pakistan is joining the Global Sumud Flotilla to break the Israeli siege of Gaza, according to a post on Instagram yesterday by the Pak-Palestine Forum, a platform aiming to advance support for the Palestinian cause.

“Pakistani activists, doctors, scholars, and youth leaders will sail alongside international human rights defenders, carrying humanitarian aid and the voice of millions of Pakistanis who refuse to stay silent,” the post said.

It invited donations to support the journey, which will be used for travel expenses as well as aid on the boat.
