Greenpeace Activists Stage Dramatic Protest in Rome for Gaza

Rome Fountain Protest: Greenpeace Demands Aid for Gaza Greenpeace activists staged a dramatic protest at Rome's iconic Acqua Paola fountain on June 6th, 2025, demanding immediate humanitarian aid and food access for the Gaza Strip. The activists, who entered the fountain's basin, unfurled banners reading "Fermate il bagno di sangue a Gaza" (Stop the bloodbath in Gaza) and "Save Gaza." Red smoke added to the visual impact of the demonstration. One activist, speaking to Sky News, stated, "We are here to highlight the urgent need for aid in Gaza. The ongoing violence is unacceptable, and the international community must act now." The protest comes amid escalating tensions in the region and growing concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The demonstration, which lasted approximately 30 minutes, peacefully concluded with the activists leaving the fountain. The protest serves as a powerful visual representation of the global call for an end to the violence and the delivery of essential aid to those in need in Gaza.
