Top museum shines light on Israeli Genocide in Gaza through photo exhibition

ONE OF Spain's best-known art institutions recently opened an exhibition featuring photographs taken by photojournalists in war-torn Gaza, aiming to awaken "sleeping consciences" in a country that has already been at the forefront of highlighting the humanitarian calamity in the Palestinian territory.

The temporary show at Madrid’s Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Gaza Through Their Eyes, shows residents of Gaza receiving humanitarian aid, children attending improvised schools amid ruins, and families enduring daily life in the midst of widespread destruction.

The museum organised the free exhibition in collaboration with UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, and it will remain on display in the main hall until October 19.

Spain has been one of the most vocal critics in Europe of the offensive in Gaza. Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for Israel to be barred from international sporting events, and has approved an arms embargo on the country, in response to the conflict.
