Every year, around 20 million pilgrims walk 80 km from Najaf to Karbala—the world’s largest peaceful gathering. They march under extreme heat, to honor Imam Hussain’s stand against tyranny. What’s extraordinary? Ordinary people serve them selflessly along the entire route.In recent years, this sea of humanity has grown from 10 to 20 million. And now, woven into this massive crowd, Palestine’s flag flies high. The pilgrims carry Karbala’s message of justice—and Gaza’s cry for freedom.
