Every dollar goes to help the people of Palestine

An international solidarity march for Gaza set off for the Rafah border crossing on Sunday as part of a campaign to end Israel’s blockade on the enclave and demand a halt to the ongoing war.

Thousands of participants from 32 countries are taking part in the campaign seeking to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid and show global support for Palestinians in Gaza, who are enduring what legal experts and rights groups have described as a genocide.

Since May 2024, Israeli forces have seized and closed the Rafah crossing, blocking all entry and exit, including humanitarian aid and medical evacuations.

Saree said the convoy is part of a wider international mobilisation, by land, sea, and air, against the crimes being committed
in Gaza.

"The goal is to pressure the occupation to open the crossings and stop the genocide," he said. "Since October 7, Moroccans have taken to the streets in support of the Palestinian resistance and people – and we will continue."

"To our people in Gaza, we say: You are not alone. This is the least we can do to bring your voice to the world," he said, calling the caravan a symbolic expression of the growing global will to hold Israel accountable.
