Holding Palestinian flags, American protesters have rallied outside the White House in the US capital city of Washington DC to demand an immediate ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Saturday protest in Washington came on the second day of Israel’s renewed airstrikes on Gaza, after the expiry of a week-long truce between the regime and the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.
More than 15,200 people have so far been killed in Gaza with over 40,000 people wounded. According to Gaza’s health ministry, 70 percent of victims of Israeli strikes on the blockaded territory are women and children.
