Description

Dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators took to the streets of Milan on Saturday to demand an end to what they called the ongoing 'genocide' in Gaza as fighting between Israel and Hamas continues for the 11th month.

Footage shows protesters chanting while marching with Palestinian flags and signs reading 'stop killing kids', 'no colonialism' and 'stop the genocide.

Since the war broke out, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has repeatedly called for a ceasefire in Gaza, urged increased humanitarian assistance in the strip and voiced Italy's support for a two-state solution in the region.

Meanwhile, the Italian branch of the New Communist Party (NPC), the Arab-Palestinian Democratic Union (UDAP) and CARC Communist Resistance Support Committee have reportedly called for Italy to boycott Israel and issued a blacklist of Israeli-affiliated individuals and companies.

Fighting continues after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200 according to Israeli officials.

Israel declared war on the group and a 'complete siege' of Gaza, with a large-scale campaign of air strikes. A ground incursion began at the end of the third week, with Israeli leaders vowing to 'wipe out' Hamas. Palestinian officials reported that at least 40,939 people had been killed and more than 94,616 injured at time of publication.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that Hamas locations and infrastructure were targeted in the response. However, United Nations experts warned against 'collective punishment' for the people of Gaza, before predicting a 'humanitarian crisis' and then claimed that 'hell is settling in' for the region.
