New York - Saba:
Human rights movements and social organizations organized a mass rally in a square near the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, with the participation of hundreds of demonstrators, denouncing the war of genocide and starvation in the Gaza Strip.
During the rally, demonstrators raised Palestinian flags and banners condemning the international silence on what they described as an "Israeli-made famine" in the Gaza Strip.
The organizations emphasized that what is happening is not merely a siege, but rather a systematic policy aimed at collectively torturing Palestinians to death, amid international complicity and suspicious UN silence.
The participants called on the United Nations and all countries to take immediate action to put an end to what they described as the crime of "genocide" and to provide food, water, and medicine to civilians in Gaza, who are facing the worst humanitarian disaster in modern times. Since the genocide began on October 7, 2023, Israel has been simultaneously committing a starvation crime against the people of the Gaza Strip.
It tightened its measures on March 2, closing all crossings to humanitarian, relief, and medical aid, causing famine to spread and reach "catastrophic" levels. The genocide, with American support, has left more than 209,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons and a famine that has claimed the lives of many.
