‘How long will the international community remain silent?’

Activist Amira Al-Saghira, one of the protesters, expressed her solidarity with the Palestinian people, who have been subjected to genocidal attacks by Israel. “How long will the international community remain silent? Does the international community wait for more people to be killed?” she asked.
