Hundreds of people are demonstrating in Toulouse, France, on January 13, 2024, in support of Gazans, the Gaza Strip, and more generally for Palestine. The banner reads, ''For Peace, For a just and enduring peace, end of the blockade, end of the bombings, ceasefire in Gaza and in the West Bank.'' Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th, Israel has imposed a complete blockade on the Gaza Strip, cutting off water, food, electricity, fuel, medicines, and at times, communication with the outside world. South Africa is pleading in the International Justice Court against Israel for not preventing a genocide in Gaza. More than 80 countries are siding with South Africa in its case. The U.N. estimates that up to 2 million people in the Gaza Strip, or more than 85% of the population, have been forced to flee due to Israel's devastating bombing campaign. Despite Israel striking hospitals, UN shelters, UN schools, ambulances, and press buildings, the global North supports Israel, while the global South is calling for an enduring ceasefire as soon as possible. None of the hospitals in the north of the Gaza Strip are fully functional. U.N. experts are calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, stating that Palestinians are at 'grave risk of genocide'. Despite its order for civilians to leave northern areas of Gaza, Israel's military is continuing to bomb the south of the Strip as well. To date, 1,147 Israelis and more than 24,000 Palestinians, including over 10,000 children, have been killed. Hundreds of thousands of people are protesting across the world against this cruel and barbaric war.
