The #Samud #GazaFlotilla is currently sailing across the Ionian Sea towards the island archipelago south east of Athens in the Western Mediterranean. Conditions appear good for this leg that departed from Sicily after leaving Tunisia. The Flotilla set off from Barcelona.

2/ this current leg is 860 kms roughly and lead boats in the 51 vessel flotilla are currently approaching south western Greece. You can follow the flotillas progress here >> flotilla-orpin.vercel.app

3/ After two drone attacks on flotilla boats in Tunisia the flotilla sailed first to Sicily where it was joined by several more boats. And this map shows the path of the flotilla so far. The numbers in the dots indicate more vessels joining #GazaFlotilla

I think the numbers on the dots indicate more boats joining the flotilla. And many many more vessels may now join it from the numerous islands in the Agean which is on the route of Gaza flotilla.

This image shows what may be the final leg in the Gaza flotilla albeit with a time yet to be confirmed and possibly with many more vessels having joined it.

Weather could also play a part in the date of departure as may possible military activity in the path of the flotilla.
