Hamas says it appreciates the “global movement” against the bombardment and Israeli-imposed hunger in the Gaza Strip and has called for protests across the world against the mass starvation, Al Jazeera reports

“We call for continuing and escalating the popular pressure in the cities, capitals and squares on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and all the upcoming days with marches, protests and demonstrations in front of the Zionist and US embassies,” Hamas said in a statement.

The Palestinian group called on people across the world to speak out and demand the opening of all entry points to deliver aid to Gaza.
