An estimated 1.4 million people attended the funeral ceremony of martyr Nasrallah, a testament to how the world views Nasrallah as a hero and champion of humanity. The sheer scale of the gathering signals that his legacy transcends borders and religions, uniting diverse communities in the shared struggle against oppression.
