Tomato Mayhem: La Tomatina Festival Brings Joy and Solidarity

Armed with tomatoes, thousands of people have attended Spain's La Tomatina Festival.

Tomatoes unfit for consumption are used during the annual festival.

The partygoers flooded the streets of Buñol, near Valencia, where they indulged in a huge food fight. Some took the opportunity to show their support for Gaza by displaying Palestinian flags.

This vibrant festival, which celebrated its tradition with joy, demonstrated not only the spirit of the people but also their solidarity with those facing hardship around the world.
