Protests held in Morocco in support of Palestinians

RABAT

More than 100 Demonstrations were organized across Morocco on Friday to condemn Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and show support to the Palestinians.

The Support for Ummah Issues Foundation, a Moroccan civil society group, said 106 protests were held in 50 cities.

Protesters chanted slogans in support of Palestinian resistance and against Israel’s violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and all of Palestine, as well as US and Western backing of Israel and the Arab world's "silence."

They also denounced Israeli attacks on civilians in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq.

Daily protests are being held in cities, including the capital Rabat, calling for an end to Israel's attacks, lifting of the blockade, and delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Since October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks have killed at least 41,272 Palestinians in Gaza, including 16,795 children and 11,378 women, with 95,551 injured.

Thousands remain under the rubble as hospitals and schools are targeted, destroying civilian infrastructure.

In the West Bank and East Jerusalem, 716 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since October 7.
