Palestinians have rallied in the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank to express their support for Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Residents carried flags and chanted slogans, condemning Israel’s continued bombing of the Gaza Strip.

Mustafa Barghouti, the head of the Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees, spoke at the event, accusing Israel of committing genocide and war crimes.

“Every day the Israeli air strikes kill or mutilate 100 more Palestinian children. Thousands of people have been killed or injured since the activation of this genocide war. We demand immediate stop of this terrible war. People in Gaza are subjected to three war crimes in parallel — the war crime of genocide, the war crime of collective punishment and the war crime of ethnic cleansing,” he said.

“More than 200,000 people have been already evicted. For the 10th time in Gaza. And more than that, nothing is getting to Gaza for 34 days: not a glass of water, not a single piece of bread, not any medication to treat the injured people.”
