Gaza: Pep Guardiola defends the people “murdered” and their children in a campaign

In a video released on October 18, 2026, for a campaign linked to UNRWA, Pep Guardiola condemned the dehumanization of Gaza’s victims, saying they had been “murdered” and had names, families and dreams. He urged people not to look away, to keep speaking about Palestine and to support UNRWA, which has provided Palestinian refugees with healthcare, protection and humanitarian aid for more than 75 years. Guardiola also cited home demolitions, forced displacement in the West Bank and obstruction of aid entering Gaza. Al Jazeera reports that the war has killed at least 71,803 people since October 2023.
