Pro-Palestine protests held globally over Gaza hunger crisis

Hundreds of Indonesian protesters marched and gathered in front of the US Embassy on Sunday to voice their concerns about the hunger crisis in Gaza.

The peaceful protest was filled with Palestinian flags as protesters chanted and banged on household items like pots and pans. Protesters called for humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza and called for more political pressure.

Meanwhile, similar demonstrations were taking place in Europe. In The Hague, dozens of pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered outside the Egyptian embassy on Saturday, urging Cairo to open the Rafah border crossing to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Demonstrators held signs reading 'Open Rafah border' and 'Children are dying!' while banging pots and pans and waving Palestinian flags. Several protesters left bags of flour on the embassy’s doorstep as a symbolic gesture against the ongoing blockade.

Protesters also displayed manipulated images of Egyptian and Israeli leaders side by side and laid out portraits of starving children from Gaza on the pavement. Some placards accused Egyptian officials of complicity, reading: 'Blood on your hands.'

At the same time, in Milan, Italy, hundreds of pro-Palestine demonstrators rallied to denounce Gaza's urgent hunger crisis and what they described as genocide by starvation.

Footage shows protesters marching, waving Palestinian flags, holding placards reading 'Ceasefire', 'Save Gaza' and 'Palestine – to exist is to resist' and chanting as police monitor the event.
