We are here to support the just claim of the Palestinian people, for their sovereignty, their freedom and against the genocidal crusade that Israel practices towards the Palestinian people, said Michel Marino, a 20-year-old international relations student, at the event on Monday.
For a whole year, our Gaza has not had a single day of calm, not a single day of peace and our people in the West Bank suffer daily aggression while the world remains paralysed and unable to stop this tragedy, said Mohammed Suwan, a Palestinian student, as he addressed the participants.
The march had been due to take place on October 7 to commemorate the first anniversary of Israel's war on Gaza after a Hamas-led assault on southern Israel, but it was postponed due to Hurricane Milton, which lashed Cuba and Florida in the United States last week.
The demonstrators, including some 250 Palestinian medical students living in Cuba, carried a large banner that read 'Long live free Palestine', while the president and his allies wore keffiyeh scarves—an emblem of Palestinian solidarity.
