Multinational rallies call for ceasefire in Gaza and urge governments to take decisive action
On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of people across various European cities marched in solidarity with Palestinians. In Istanbul, huge crowds walked from Hagia Sophia to the Golden Horn, carrying Turkish and Palestinian flags. In Rome, Barcelona, Madrid and Paris, demonstrators demanded an immediate end to the conflict, the safe passage of humanitarian aid, and the release of activists detained during flotilla operations. Organisers say these protests reflect rising international pressure on their governments over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis.
