• Adriana Ugarte spoke out against ongoing violence in Gaza during her Almeria Film Festival award speech.
• She stressed that the ceasefire is incomplete and aid corridors are still not fully functional.
• Ugarte urged continued attention to Palestine and Sudan.

Spanish actress Adriana Ugarte seized the spotlight at the Almeria International Film Festival while accepting her award to make a powerful statement on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Ugarte used her platform to denounce what she described as 'Israel’s' continued genocide and urged the international community not to be deceived by reports of a so-called ceasefire.

Ugarte emphasized that “the genocide is not over,” and criticized the media for presenting an incomplete picture of the conflict. She highlighted that no fully functional humanitarian corridor has yet been established to ensure that essential aid, including medical supplies, food, and water, can reach the civilians trapped in conflict zones.

Furthermore, she pointed out that international trade, diplomatic engagement, and arms-related relations with 'Israel' remain ongoing, signaling that the broader systems enabling the violence are still intact.

Ugarte called on the public and policymakers alike to maintain focus on humanitarian crises across the globe.

“Let’s not take our eyes off Palestine, and let’s not take them off Sudan either,” she urged, drawing attention to multiple regions where civilians continue to suffer amid genocide.
