Protest In Toulouse In Support Of Palestine

A protester is holding a placard calling for the boycott of Carrefour in Toulouse, France, on December 2, 2023. Following the resumption of fighting in the Gaza Strip, hundreds of people are demonstrating in support of Gazans, the Gaza Strip, and more generally for Palestine. Since the conflict between Hamas and Israel on October 7th, Israel has imposed a complete blockade on the Gaza Strip, restricting access to water, food, electricity, fuel, medicines, and at times, communication with the outside world. The U.N. estimates that up to 1.8 million people in the Gaza Strip, or nearly 80% of the population, have been forced to flee due to Israel's devastating bombing campaign. Despite Israel targeting hospitals, UN shelters, UN schools, ambulances, and press buildings, the global North continues to support Israel without question, while the global South is calling for an immediate and lasting ceasefire. All hospitals in the north of the Gaza Strip are currently non-functional. U.N. experts are calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, citing that Palestinians there are at 'grave risk of genocide'. Despite Israel's orders for civilians to evacuate northern areas of Gaza, its military is also continuing to bombard the south of the strip. More than 1.8 million Gazans have been displaced. To date, 1,200 Israelis and more than 16,000 Palestinians, including over 6,000 children, have been killed. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world are protesting against this cruel and barbaric war. (Photo by Alain Pitton/NurPhoto)
