Necessary arrangements have been completed at Marmaris State Hospital under the coordination of the Deputy Head of the Forensic Medicine Institute, while expert academics and physicians from Türkiye’s Denizli, Istanbul, and Mugla provinces have arrived in the district.
Forensic medicine specialists, psychiatrists, and clinical physicians will conduct examinations, and samples may be taken for toxicological analysis if deemed necessary.
The reports to be prepared will be submitted to the prosecutor’s office to be included in the investigation file.
Officials from Global Sumud Türkiye said the humanitarian mission will continue, adding that the flotilla is planned to set sail again on Wednesday.
The Global Sumud Flotilla 2026 Spring Mission, aimed at breaking Israel’s blockade of Gaza and delivering vital humanitarian aid, was intercepted by the Israeli army off the coast of Crete on April 29.
The aid flotilla was attacked on April 30, near Crete, some 600 nautical miles from its destination, the blockade-ravaged enclave of Gaza.
The flotilla’s first ships, carrying humanitarian aid, left Barcelona on April 12, while the main fleet set sail from the Italian island of Sicily on April 26, aiming to break Israel’s years-long blockade of Gaza.
Israel has imposed a crippling blockade on Gaza since 2007, leaving the territory’s 2.4 million people on the verge of starvation.
The Israeli army launched a brutal two-year genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, killing more than 72,000 people, injuring over 172,000, and causing massive destruction across the besieged territory.
