The '''2024 Gaza freedom flotilla''' is a planned international humanitarian relief effort organized by the [[Freedom Flotilla Coalition]]. It is scheduled to leave from Turkey in April 2024 and bring aid to the Gaza Strip amidst the [[Israel–Hamas war]] and [[Gaza Strip famine]]. In mid-April, activists from the United States traveled to Turkey with plans to join the flotilla.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Altenberg |first1=Nik |title=Gaza Aid Flotilla to Include Bay Area Residents {{!}} KQED |url=https://www.kqed.org/news/11983361/bay-area-residents-to-join-gaza-aid-flotilla |access-date=19 April 2024 |work=www.kqed.org |date=18 April 2024 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Journal |first1=Gayle Worland | Wisconsin State |title=Dells-area woman is joining the next Freedom Flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza |url=https://madison.com/news/local/cassandra-dixon-gaza-palestine-freedom-flotilla/article_242d0266-fb23-11ee-90bd-573d8bd4e6e4.html |access-date=19 April 2024 |work=Wisconsin State Journal |date=17 April 2024 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Ann Wright talks mission to sail aid to Gaza |url=https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/the-conversation/2024-04-12/2-hawaii-residents-part-of-a-mission-to-sail-aid-to-gaza |access-date=19 April 2024 |work=Hawai'i Public Radio |date=13 April 2024 |language=en}}</ref>
The flotilla is supported by [[İHH]], a conservative [[Turkey|Turkish]] GNGO. [[Fehmi Bülent Yıldırım]], the president of IHH, stated in a press briefing that the convoy, with ships from [[Turkey]], [[Lebanon]], and [[Libya]], plans to initially dock at the Egyptian city of [[Arish]] before heading to [[Rafah]]. [[Ynet]] reports that the initiative has received the green light from Turkish authorities, with coordination involving Turkey's intelligence chief.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-14 |title=Mavi Marmara 2: New aid flotilla to sail from Turkey to 'break siege' of Gaza - report |url=https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-796939 |access-date=2024-04-19 |website=The Jerusalem Post {{!}} JPost.com |language=en}}</ref>
