Students Protest In Florence In Support Of The Global Sumud Flotilla

Students protest against the blockade of the Global Sumud Flotilla as they march along Via dei Servi toward the Florence Cathedral (Duomo). A demonstrator waves a Palestinian flag, while many others clap and raise their hands. The Duomo is visible in the background. In Florence, Italy, on October 2, 2025, students march through the city center and occupy university buildings in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla. The international civil society–led maritime initiative launches in 2025, aiming to break the naval blockade on Gaza, deliver humanitarian aid, and establish a people-led humanitarian corridor. Comprising dozens of vessels and participants from over 40 countries, it draws global attention and sparks protests worldwide after several boats are intercepted by Israeli forces. In Florence, students join the international wave of solidarity, calling for justice in Palestine. (Photo by Lorenzo Carmellini/NurPhoto)
