On October 8, 2025, Aldo Paolella filmed a quiet candlelit vigil held across from Downing Street, marking the second anniversary of the Gaza genocide and remembering its victims.

The video reveals a vast pavement display glowing under hundreds of candles. Scattered among the lights are photographs of Palestinian children and families, many labeled with names, ages, and personal messages written in Arabic and English.

Palestinian flags and wilted flowers rest beside protest signs bearing questions such as “What is happening?” and “This is Gaza,” reflecting anguish and disbelief.

As dusk deepens over London, a few participants kneel around the candlelit memorial in silence, united in a moment of grief and remembrance.
