Gaza

Palestinian artists have honoured Spanish footballer Lamine Yamal by painting a mural of the Barcelona star on a destroyed building in Gaza City.

The 18-year-old waved a large Palestinian flag from an open-top bus during his team’s La Liga victory parade through Barcelona on Monday.

Two young local visual artists said it was their way of thanking him for showing solidarity to the Palestinian cause and Gaza.

"The viral video of Lamine Yamal was a great joy for the Palestinian people. It was a beautiful thing. We call on all the celebrities to do the same for Palestine," said visual artist Obay Al Qershalli.
