"We are going to Gaza to break the siege. We don't know if we will be able, if they will let us do it, but we will continue with the mission. We are a mission of peace and we know that we are on the right side of history," the participant added.

Fighting continues for the ninth month after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on October 7, killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200, according to Israeli officials.
Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that at least 38,295 Palestinian people were killed and 88,241 were injured at the time of publication.
The Israeli Defence Forces claimed that Hamas locations and infrastructure were targeted in the response - and has repeatedly denied allegations of 'genocide'. United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
