Hundreds of people assembled in downtown Montreal, Canada for an emergency protest for Palestinians as the Israel bombardment in Gaza intensified overnight amid a communications blackout and reports of a ground invasion.
“Gaza! Gaza! We are here! Gaza! Gaza! We are here!" they shouted.
On Friday, the United Nations General Assembly approved a resolution urging an immediate ceasefire and insisting on humanitarian aid access to Gaza.
Canada, which abstained, had proposed an amendment to explicitly denounce Hamas for its attack on Israel on 7 October and call for the immediate release of hostages taken by the group.
