Ethan Floyd and 11 other Australian humanitarian workers were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla when it was illegally seized in international waters.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) claims to be “urgently seeking updates,” yet they continue to prioritize political ties over the safety of Australian civilians.
They were students, activists, and board members of racial justice organizations like Democracy in Colour, sailing to break an illegal blockade and deliver life-saving aid.
We need to make enough noise that DFAT and Foreign Minister Penny Wong cannot ignore us. Before sailing, Ethan was clear: it is the responsibility of consular officials to ensure the safety of Australian civilians from state-sponsored violence and torture.
ow, it’s our turn to have his back.
BRING THEM HOME. BREAK THE BLOCKADE.

Ethan Floyd: My name is Ethan Floyd and I’m an Australian citizen. If you’re watching this, it means that the civilian aid flotilla that I’m a part of has been illegally intercepted in international waters by Israel. I’ve been kidnaped by the Israeli Defense Forces and taken to Israel against my will alongside other Australians. We are requesting immediate consular assistance from the Australian government and calling on people back home to contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on 1300555135 to ask them what they are doing to ensure our safety in captivity and secure our swift release. We’re also calling on the Australian Government to facilitate the free flow of aid at scale into Gaza. The moment has never been more urgent and that’s exactly why we’ve set sail. Free Palestine.
