The Sumud Convoy was a North African aid convoy, consisting of about 10 buses, a hundred cars, and thousands of volunteers from Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Mauritania, which departed from Tunisia on 9 June 2025 to break the Israeli siege on Gaza, deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip, and end the genocide in Gaza.
The convoy was the North African contingent contributing to the Global March to Gaza, which intended to begin from Al-Arish in Egypt on 13 June and march about 50 km to the Rafah border crossing. Organisers said on 15 June that, while en route to Egypt, Sumud activists were mistreated and arrested in eastern Libya, and on 16 June announced their decision to cancel the convoy’s journey after Libyan authorities refused to allow them to cross into Egypt.[1]
