Why it matters:
The Israeli regime's continued actions, bolstered by U.S. military and financial support, are exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, with the number of wounded now reaching 171,165.
The big picture:
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli regime has escalated its attacks on Palestine, resulting in more than 70,669 civilian deaths, including countless women and children. The international community’s failure to hold Israel accountable has prompted widespread calls for justice.
What happened:
The streets of Bauchi were flooded with protesters waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans, urging the global community to address Israel’s actions. Using the Hausa language, protesters condemned Israel’s ongoing violence against Palestinians, with some calling the Zionists "vampires" for their relentless bloodshed.
What he's saying:
Dalhat Sa'id Gani, senior member of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, emphasized in his closing remarks: "When we talk about humanity, we talk about the oppressed. And today, that means standing for Palestine. Israel is slaughtering Palestinians every minute of every day. The world must unite and demand Palestine’s freedom. We are all Palestinians."
He also denounced the United Nations for its inaction, stating that its failure to address Israel’s actions makes it complicit in the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
"The United Nations and the international community have both moral and legal responsibilities to stop Israel's brutality. Failure to act makes them part of the genocide," Gani stated.
By the numbers:
Since October 7, 2023, at least 70,669 Palestinian civilians have been killed.
As of the latest reports, 171,165 Palestinians have been wounded.
