Paris, MINA – Hundreds of French citizens took to the streets in central Paris to denounce the ongoing blockade and brutality perpetrated by Zionist Israel against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
The peaceful demonstration, held in the city’s main square, called for an immediate halt to Israel’s brutal attacks and for humanitarian aid to be allowed into the besieged territory.
According to MEMO, demonstrators carried posters, Palestinian flags, and symbols representing the bodies of children and infants as a form of protest against the ongoing humanitarian crimes in Gaza.
They stated that Israel’s occupation and blockade backed by the United States and other Western nations have led to a deeply alarming humanitarian crisis.

Olivia Zemor, President of the Euro-Palestine organization, delivered a speech during the rally, stating that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire.
“One-third of the two million Palestinians in Gaza have not eaten anything for days,” said Zemor, highlighting the impact of Israel’s severe blockade that has cut off access to food, clean water, medicine, and fuel.
She further emphasized that Israel’s assault is not only killing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians directly but also deliberately crippling health services and creating mass starvation.
“This is not just an armed war. It is a deliberate starvation campaign. The people of Gaza are being left to die slowly,” she said.
This act of solidarity is part of a global wave of demonstrations demanding justice for Palestine and an end to Western military and political support for Zionist Israel. In countries including the UK, Germany, the United States, Turkey, and Indonesia, people continue to raise their voices in protest against the genocide in Gaza and in support of Palestinian independence.
