STORY: The gathering was organized by the Gernika-Palestina collective, a group of artists and activists from the Spanish Basque Country, drawing a parallel between the situation in Gaza and the attack on the city of Guernica in 1937, which inspired Pablo Picasso's eponymous painting.

Israel's military assault on Gaza has displaced nearly its entire 2.3 million population, caused a starvation crisis, flattened most of the enclave, killed over 31,000 people, according to Gaza's health ministry.

Israel denies the genocide charges and says it is acting in self-defense after the Oct. 7 attack on Israel from Hamas that killed some 1,200, according to Israeli tallies, and took scores of hostages.
