Rights and environmental activists demanding a ceasefire in Gaza unfurled a giant picture of a Palestinian child crying for help above the entrance to Madrid's Reina Sofia museum on Wednesday, according to Reuters.
The museum is home to Pablo Picasso's painting Guernica, which depicts the horrors of war.
The banner was an illustration by US artist Shepard Fairey, based on an image taken by Palestinian photographer Belal Khaled.
"Can you hear us?" reads the caption, with "Ceasefire now" also written on it.
