Gaza Residents Grateful for Global Support Amid Protests in the US
In a heartfelt show of gratitude, people across north and central Gaza expressed their appreciation for US college students protesting the war in Gaza. Doctors, nurses, and medical staff in Deir al-Balah gathered outside Al Aqsa Martyrs hospital with signs advocating unity against genocide and calling for an end to the killing of children. Dr. Saad Abu Sharban shared his joy at seeing solidarity protests worldwide, highlighting the global awareness of Gaza’s plight.
Palestinians in Gaza have been actively supporting US protesters, with children in refugee camps holding signs thanking American universities for their solidarity. Nadia Al-Dibs, a mother in Deir al-Balah, expressed her gratitude to American students for standing with Gaza and advocating for a ceasefire, contrasting their support with what she perceived as Arab populations’ lack of concern.
This public appreciation from Gaza comes amid controversies in the US regarding the protests, which have spread across the country in response to Israel’s ongoing military actions. While the protests primarily call for an end to Israel’s assault in Gaza, some critics allege instances of anti-Semitism. Israel has also raised concerns about external influences on these protests.
