Pro-Palestinian protesters blocked entrance roads to airports in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday amid US airlines contended with a rush of holiday travel.

Iran PressAmerica: Since the Israeli regime war on Gaza erupted, protests have broken out in cities across the United States. In New York, pro-Palestinian organizers have responded to the growing death toll in Gaza.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza announced that the number of people killed during the Israeli regime's attacks on the Gaza strip exceeded 21,110.

The demonstrations stopped cars on the outskirts of New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, where some travelers set off on foot to bypass the jammed roadway, as well as Los Angeles International Airport. A total of 62 people were arrested during the two protests, police said.

In New York, activists locked arms and held banners demanding an end to the Israel-Hamas war and expanded rights for Palestinians, bringing traffic to a standstill on the Van Wyck Expressway leading up to the airport for about 20 minutes.

Video posted to social media showed passengers, some carrying suitcases, leaving vehicles behind and stepping over barriers onto the highway median. 219
