Notes

  1. [a]
    The Global Sumud Flotilla lists 6 Moroccans, but one of them, Yassine Benjelloun, is listed elsewhere as French, and says in the video that he is French. He is therefore counted in this table as French.[8]
  2. [b]
    The Global Sumud Flotilla lists him as Moroccan, but in the video he says (in French) that he is French.[6] TRT World lists him as French.[8]
