Gaza Arms Port Strike
Dockworkers and seafarers went on strike at 113 ports in 22 countries, protesting the use of civilian ports to ship weapons and condemning the killing of seafarers in conflict zones. They also called for better wages, working conditions and medical care. The strike disrupted cargo shipping and ferry services and included the port of Piraeus, where around 3,000 workers and seafarers took part. The “No Harbor for Genocide” group expected the action to hold up around 52,000 containers worth $2.8 billion. The protest was based on the “Istanbul Declaration,” which opposes arms shipments to conflict zones, amid concerns over maritime safety: 28 attacks on ships were reported in the Gulf during the first three weeks of October, and around 570 in the Black Sea since the start of the year.
