Sumud Nusantara is a regional solidarity movement from Southeast Asia formed in 2025 to represent the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) convoy efforts. The movement joined the maritime humanitarian aid mission aiming to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. It consists of civil organizations and youth movements from Malaysia and eight other countries. It is named from ṣumūd (Arabic for 'resilience') and Nusantara (Kawi for 'outer islands', a name now usually referring to the Malay Archipelago).[1]
The movement is said to be driven as "the common civil voice who reluctantly became the spectators for the thousands of innocent Gaza citizen who gradually face death by famine due to the aid blockade and border closure."[1]
