PRO-PALESTINIAN DEMOS HELD ACROSS THE WORLD
Gaza City, 29 Ramadan 1435/27 July 2014 (MINA) – Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have taken to streets around the world calling for an end to the Israeli regime’s bloodshed in the war-torn Gaza Strip.
Public outrage against Israel’s massive offensive on the coastal enclave led to demos around the globe on Saturday, Press TV quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting, Sunday.
In Bahrain, pro-Palestinian activists rallied on the streets of the Karranah village, west of capital Manama, to call on the international community to react to Tel Aviv’s atrocities in Gaza.
Protesters also took to streets of two major Canadian cities of Ottawa and Toronto to censure Israel for its offensive against Gaza on the pretext of self defense.
Similar demos were held elsewhere on the planet, including in London, Paris, and Edinburgh.
The Palestinian death toll has reached more than 1,000 from over two weeks of Israeli strikes. Thousands of Palestinians have also been injured in the onslaught.
Israeli warplanes have been carrying out incessant airstrikes against the blockaded Gaza Strip since July 8. On July 17, thousands of Israeli soldiers launched a ground incursion into the densely-populated strip.
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, has been launching retaliatory attacks against Israel.
While Israel confirms 40 Israelis have been killed in the war, Hamas sources put the number at about 90. (T/E01/IR)
