-MILAN, ITALY — SEPT. 4, 2025: Thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of Milan, Italy, on Thursday, Sept. 3, in a show of support for Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla. The march wound its way past Piazza della Repubblica and Porta Venezia, with protesters waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans. The rally concluded in front of the gardens on Via Palestro, where participants gathered in solidarity. The Global Sumud Flotilla, carrying activists and humanitarian aid to Gaza, departed Barcelona’s port late Monday after bad weather forced its return on Sunday. Around 200 activists, politicians and artists from 44 countries initially set sail Sunday from Barcelona after a large rally in support of the mission. Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, Irish actor Liam Cunningham, Spanish actor Eduardo Fernandez and former Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau are taking part in the voyage. Organizers said the flotilla will be joined by more ships departing from Italy and Tunisia, bringing the total to more than 500 people and 60 vessels. It hopes to reach Gaza by mid-September.
