Global Sumud Convoy Condemns Libyan Army 'Show of Force', Gaza Aid Mission Halted at Sirte

The Global Sumud Land Convoy condemned the Libyan National Army's "show of force" at Sirte crossing, accusing authorities of intimidating civilians and blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Over 200 participants from 25 countries remain stranded near Sirte amid military presence and stalled negotiations. The convoy carries ambulances, medicines, and mobile homes, with organizers having coordinated passage months prior. Negotiations via Red Crescent have frozen, prompting demands for written guarantees. Activist Nikhita Naidu emphasized solidarity with Palestinians, rejecting political affiliation. The convoy awaits safe passage guarantees, having departed May 15 as remembrance, while the Global Sumud Flotilla alleged Israeli forces illegally intercepted vessels, demanding immediate release of volunteers.
