As Israel continues to inflict heavy casualties on Palestinian civilians in Gaza, scores of people across the US gathered in major cities over the weekend to support the Palestinians.
Gaza health officials on Tuesday said the Palestinian death toll has risen to 212, including 61 children and 36 women since hostilities began last week. Ten people have been killed in Israel, including two children.
According to a CNN news report, protests across the United States in solidarity with Palestinians stretched from California to New York over the weekend.
“Saturday marked the 73rd anniversary of “al-Nakba,” or “the catastrophe”, when more than 700,000 Palestinians were driven from or left their homes during the war that created the state of Israel,” read the news report.
