Sailboat with Palestinian flag sailing on the Mediterranean Sea - Thousand Madleens to Gaza campaign

Thousand Madleens to Gaza - UK Delegation

Breaking Israel's Illegal Blockade

1000 Ships. One Mission. Free Gaza.

The UK delegation is part of an international non-violent movement organising a civilian-led flotilla, aiming to break Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza. Sailing in Spring 2026 with boats from across the world coming together to open a people's sea corridor to Gaza.

We demand that human rights bodies do not continue to wait for permission from the same genocidal state that is deliberately starving Palestinians to death. Israel has no legal jurisdiction over international waters or Palestinian territorial waters.

Together we sail in solidarity with Palestinians.

UK Delegation's Role

We are UK-based medics, sailors, and grassroots organisers volunteering as part of the international Thousand Madleens network.

We're raising funds to acquire boats, equipment, and training for the UK's contribution to the global flotilla coalition sailing to Gaza in Spring 2026.

Together, we are acting in solidarity with Palestinians in the demand for justice, liberation and freedom.

Why This Matters

The UK Government is an active and complicit partner in Israel's genocide.

It is crucial that UK citizens take action by demanding that our government, media, corporations, and institutions end their fuelling and enabling of Israel's genocide.

It is our duty to oppose Israel's illegal blockade and support non-violent missions that raise the alarm internationally.

How Your Donations Help

Your support allows us to sail by directly funding boats, equipment, and training for the UK delegation's contribution to the Spring 2026 flotilla.

Boats & Equipment

Acquire and equip boats for the flotilla. Cover repairs, safety checks, GPS, communications, cameras, and essential maritime equipment needed to open a people's sea corridor to Gaza.

Training & Coordination

Train and coordinate UK volunteers and crews that will be sailing to Gaza. Provide safety gear, communication tools, and prepare departure logistics from European ports.
