Hundreds of protesters have taken to the streets of Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoon and Jabalia to demand an end to Israel’s attacks and blockade on Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.
The protest took place on Tuesday, according to the Wafa news agency.
They held up placards that said, “We refuse to die”, “The blood of our children is not cheap” and “Stop the war”, Wafa reported.
It quoted one protester as saying, “Enough displacement. We want to live! The siege is severe. There’s no food, no security, no water, not even money. Enough of this situation. We want to live with dignity.”
AFP meanwhile reported that some protesters shouted anti-Hamas slogans at the rallies.
In Beit Lahiya, some shouted “Hamas out” and “Hamas terrorists”, it said.
Majdi, a protester who did not wish to give his full name, told the agency that the “people are tired”.
“If Hamas leaving power in Gaza is the solution, why doesn’t Hamas give up power to protect the people?” he asked.
