MILAN, Italy – On March 4, dozens of people are seen gathered in front of the Milan Cathedral, protesting with pro-Palestine signs and flags amid rising Middle East tensions. Participants carried banners, signs, waved flags, and spread out, standing completely still in the Piazza del Duomo. Using this busy part of Milan to have their message reach more people. Organizers called for the urgency of worldwide awareness and humanitarian concern and demanded action from our world leaders.

A man and a woman standing with signs, the guy’s sign says “Gaza is on fire, are you? Staying silent too?”

The Gaza Strip is really dependent on outside aid to help it survive, even though Israel closed off crossings into the Gaza Strip a few days ago.  

“On 28 February, the Israeli authorities closed all crossings into the Gaza Strip, suspended entry of aid, fuel, and commercial supplies,” According to Ochapt.org. 

An Italian woman holding a Palestinian flag and signs, with one of them in English, says “Stop Genocide, Save Gaza from starvation.” 

This demonstration has been seen more often throughout Europe as Protestors try to make their message heard to the world. Matters could get worse in the coming weeks, as Iran and the United States are now at war.
