"A march to Remember Gaza" was organized in Istanbul by the Foundation for Humanitarian Relief (IHH) and the International Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC). The march started at Beyazıt Square and ended at Ayasofya Mosque Square.

The International Freedom Flotilla Coalition held a press conference regarding the flotilla that will set sail to deliver Humanitarian aid to Gaza. Speaking at the conference, Huwaida Araf from Us Boat to Gaza stated, "The Freedom Flotilla Movement, with the support of millions of people, has prepared to sail on this journey due to the silence and inaction in the face of the massacre that has been taking place in Gaza over the past six months." Ann Wright from Us Boat to Gaza also mentioned, "Preparations are ongoing, and we will inform the public about the departure date in the very near future."

A humanitarian aid ship prepared jointly by IHH and Kuwait Society for Relief has set sail from Mersin Port with 907 tons of various aid for the people of Gaza.

Bülent Yıldırım, the President of the Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH), inspected two purchased ships for the International Freedom Flotilla. Yıldırım stated, "This cargo ship has a capacity of 5,500 tons and its name is Anadolu. It will carry our country's aid and compassion to Gaza. The name of other ship is Vicdan (Conscience). This ship will accommodate conscientious activists from around the world and deliver the conscience of the world to the shores of Gaza."

IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation’s “Goodness withstands the cold” winter campaign has distributed supplies such as coal, blankets, mattresses, food parcels, coats and boots to 15.744 families in north Syria.
