Global protests erupt over Israeli interception of Gaza aid flotilla

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators protest in Barcelona, Spain, in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla after its ships were intercepted by the Israeli navy. Across continents from Europe to Australia and South America, crowds gathered on Thursday to protest against the Israeli navy’s blockade of 41 ships carrying at least 400 people, including prominent figures like climate activist Greta Thunberg and politicians, who were attempting to reach Gaza, where the UN has reported famine conditions after nearly two years of Israel’s genocidal war.
