PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that leaders of the world may be silent on the “genocide” under way in Gaza against the Palestinians by Israel but the people were not.

“From the west to the east, the people of the world particularly the youth are protesting and giving the message to their governments that they stand with Palestine and its people.”

He said it was happening for the first time in history that “we are witnessing genocide on social media”, adding that it was a duty on countries talking about human rights to realise the injustices under way in Gaza.
