Cumbre Vieja Volcano on Spanish Island of La Palma has been spewing ash and lava since September 19. The volcanic activity is not expected to end anytime soon as the eruptions have become violent recently on the island. The lava flowing from the volcano causes fires in residential areas, where 754 hectares of land, and 1,835 households have been destroyed. About 7,000 people have been evacuated from the island thus far.

In his speech, Zomlot praised Palestinian resilience, highlighting students from Gaza who secured scholarships despite war conditions. He said the flag-raising marks “the beginning of the next chapter” toward justice, freedom, and sovereignty, and called for an end to “genocide, ethnic cleansing, and occupation.”
