Revealed: The ships carrying fuel and arms to Israel

A list of 36 ships that have consistently supplied arms and fuel to Israel during its genocide in Gaza has been revealed by a coalition of activist groups. 

The blocklist, announced on Thursday by the No Harbour for Genocide campaign, is designed to support a “people’s embargo” of ships and companies facilitating the genocide. 

Seen first by Middle East Eye, the blocklist includes Maersk container ships that have been transporting military supplies and exports for Israeli settlements across the Atlantic as part of a US maritime programme.  

A fleet of vessels operated by the Danish shipping giant has been sailing under US and Hong Kong flags, as part of the United States Maritime Administration (Marad) programme.
