A pro-Palestinian convoy aiming to reach Gaza was forced to retreat to Misrata after being blocked by forces loyal to eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar, AFP reports. The 1,000-strong "Soumoud" group, traveling from North Africa, faced arrest, deprivation, and communication blackouts near Sirte. Organisers vow to continue their mission despite setbacks, echoing similar disruptions faced by activists in Egypt’s halted Global March to Gaza.
