Dozens of human rights activists hold Gaza sit-ins at US senators offices

Around 180 pro-Palestinian human rights activists are holding sit-ins at eight US senators’ offices and more than 40 have been arrested.

Activists are demanding senators publicly call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an end to US weapons and military funding to Israel.

The senators being protested include Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Chris Van Hollen.

Sixty-six percent of US voters support a ceasefire, as found in a recent poll by Data for Progress.
