Protesters carried banners condemning the siege and famine in Gaza and denouncing the silence of the international community.

A former detainee, Iman Nafie, told Anadolu that Palestinians must unite against aggression and that Arab and international silence over Gaza must end. Nafie said people were starving and stressed that words of condemnation were not enough, calling for concrete action.

The march was also supported by a two-hour commercial strike, with shops in the city center closing in solidarity.

Mass demonstrations and marches were held simultaneously in Ramallah, Nablus, and Hebron as part of the “International Day of Solidarity With Gaza and Prisoners,” organized by civil society groups and official institutions.

On Saturday, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that seven more Palestinians, including a child, had died from starvation, raising the total death toll from hunger to 169, including 93 children, since Oct. 7, 2023.

The ministry said 39 Palestinians were killed and 849 injured while seeking aid, bringing the toll of those killed while searching for food and assistance to 1,422, with more than 10,067 wounded since May 27, when the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began operations.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, killing more than 60,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The relentless bombing has destroyed the enclave and led to a high risk of famine.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
