The demonstrators carried signs and chanted slogans demanding an end to the violence and calling for justice for the people of Gaza. They emphasized the importance of protecting medical facilities and ensuring that health care workers can operate without fear of being targeted during conflicts.
Participants highlighted the critical role of health care in crisis situations and stressed the need for global solidarity in advocating for the rights of all individuals affected by war.
