Why it matters:
The demonstration underscores the plight of Palestinian children, particularly in light of the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where residents face starvation and a lack of essential supplies.
The big picture:
Israel blocked all crossings into the Gaza Strip, leaving Palestinians under a complete blockade for the third consecutive month. This situation has resulted in daily fatalities due to famine and a shortage of food supplies.
What they're saying:
Marchers in Tangier condemned the ongoing hunger faced by Palestinians, the continued blockade of Gaza, and the ongoing conflict by waving their cell phone flashlights.
They held Palestinian flags and denounced any normalization of relations with the Israeli regime, expressing support for the continued resistance of Palestinians in Gaza.
Key points:
- The Gaza Strip has been under a complete Israeli blockade for three months.
- The humanitarian crisis is worsening, with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warning that people in Gaza are dying due to the ongoing blockade.
- The solidarity march featured Moroccan children expressing empathy for their counterparts in Gaza.
