The action, which covered more than 1,000 square meters of sand, sought to “draw a conscience and a name that neither the sea nor time can erase,” according to the girl's mother. Hind Rajab was shot dead by the Israeli army two years ago while trying to flee Gaza with her family. The Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, attended the event.
“"Her name has become a call. Her image has become a witness. Her innocence has become the denunciation of a world that remains silent."
The girl's story is featured in the film The Voice of Hind, nominated for an Oscar for Best Non-English Language Film. The film's leading actress, Saja Kilani, was also present, emphasizing the need to “stand on the side of humanity.”
“"Barcelona, that you have chosen to come and be here is proof that it is necessary to speak her language; you don't need to look like her, you don't need her passport to stand on the side of humanity."
Patricia López, a member of Avaaz, explained that the action's goal is for the international community to finally respond to the distress call of Palestinian children. She added that they seek to “revive the conversation about Gaza” since “the genocide has not ended and the massacres continue.”
