Protesters in Milan, Italy, have blocked train stations in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla. This protest is part of a larger series of demonstrations across Europe following the interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla by Israeli forces. In Milan, the protest was organized to raise awareness and show support for the flotilla, which carries humanitarian aid and medical supplies to Gaza.
The protests in Milan included blocking train stations and chanting slogans, demonstrating strong opposition to the Israeli blockade of Gaza and the interception of the aid convoy. This event is connected to wider labor union actions in Italy, including a nationwide general strike called for October 3, organized by unions such as Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) and Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro (CGIL). These protests and strikes highlight widespread solidarity with Gaza among Italian activists and unions, with some protests turning disruptive in major cities including Milan, Rome, Naples, and Genoa.
The Global Sumud Flotilla consists of more than 40 civilian vessels with around 500 participants from over 45 countries, aiming to break the blockade of Gaza and deliver essential supplies. The interception has sparked significant political and social unrest in Italy and across Europe, prompting large-scale demonstrations in cities like Milan where protesters physically blocked train station access as a form of protest
