In Spain, an artistic initiative launched in the city of Bilbao aims to raise public awareness of the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza. Shopkeepers in the old city display the faces of Palestinian children victims of the war in their windows. The glances crystallized in their windows challenge the conscience of passers-by.
“More than 30,000 dead in Palestine, against this genocide we had to do our part and in a different, artistic and visual way“, explains a trader about this initiative in Bilbao.
Additionally, the installation of 300 pairs of shoes amid streaks of red paint commemorates the child victims of the war in Gaza.
The war between Israel and Hamas, triggered by the attack of the Palestinian group on the territory of the Jewish state on October 7, is ravaging the Gaza Strip with more than 30,000 victims according to the Gaza Health Ministry controlled by the Hamas. According to the United Nations, a quarter of Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants are at risk of famine.
