Global Calls to Escalate Action Against the Occupation and End
the Genocide, Siege, and Starvation in Gaza
The
Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has called on the Arab and Islamic nations,
as well as all free people around the world, to continue and escalate public
activities next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in protest against the Israeli
occupation’s aggression and its crimes of genocide and starvation against the
residents of the Gaza Strip.
In a
statement, the movement urged intensifying popular pressure in various cities
and capitals through marches, demonstrations, and sit-ins in front of Israeli,
U.S., and other pro-aggression embassies, expressing its high appreciation for
the global mobilization that has exposed the crimes of the “Zionist-Nazi”
occupation and condemned its war of extermination against unarmed civilians.
Hamas
stressed the urgent need to unify efforts to open the crossings, immediately
deliver humanitarian aid, and raise voices loudly against the international
silence and inaction in the face of horrific crimes—killings, bombings, and the
starvation of more than two million besieged Palestinians in the Strip.
Over the
past few days, several cities worldwide have witnessed mass protests denouncing
the policy of starvation and siege and opposing ongoing U.S. support for the
aggression.
In
Australia, one of the largest pro-Palestine demonstrations took place on Sydney
Harbour Bridge, with police estimating around 90,000 participants, while
organizers reported figures between 200,000 and 300,000. The city of Melbourne
also saw similarly massive protests.
Today,
the Gaza Strip faces one of the worst humanitarian disasters in history, with
famine spreading under a tightened siege imposed by the Israeli occupation for
more than ten months, which intensified after the complete closure of crossings
on March 2.
This has
led to widespread acute malnutrition and the deaths of children and patients
from hunger, amid the near-total collapse of the healthcare sector.
Since
October 7, 2023, the war of extermination has claimed the lives and injured
more than 204,000 Palestinians, the vast majority of them women and children.
In addition, over 9,000 people remain missing, while massive destruction has
caused mass displacement and deprived hundreds of families of the most basic
necessities of life.
