Foad Aodi, a Palestinian physician living in Italy, described the situation in Gaza as catastrophic, stating that people, especially women and children, are being massacred daily. He emphasized the urgent need for field hospitals, doctors, and medicine in Gaza.
The protesters also criticized Italy's right-wing government for supporting the Zionist regime despite its widespread crimes.
