Across the world, protests, demonstrations, and campaigns continue in support of Gaza, two years after the genocidal war began on October 7, 2023. Student-led movements at major universities, public demonstrations, and social media initiatives have all called for sustained attention to the humanitarian catastrophe that has left over 200,000 civilians dead or wounded, the majority women, children, and the elderly. Activists insist that although a ceasefire has been announced, the suffering in Gaza continues, with destruction of homes, infrastructure, and even natural resources leaving the population in dire conditions.

Activists stress that remaining silent or neutral is tantamount to complicity. International campaigns, including boycotts, advocacy in sports arenas, and flotillas attempting to break the blockade, aim to pressure those responsible and draw attention to ongoing human rights violations. They argue that Gaza is not merely the site of a past war, but a continuing story of genocide, displacement, and oppression. Calls for accountability focus on ensuring the immediate and unconditional return of displaced persons, the end of the blockade, and the full restoration of basic human rights and dignity.

Voices from Gaza underline both the pain and resilience of its people. Residents and activists highlight the humanitarian duty of the global community to stand with Gaza, stressing that the struggle is far from over. They warn that silence only perpetuates the crimes and that international attention is crucial for recovery and justice. As citizens continue to endure daily hardships, activists appeal to the free people of the world to “stay with Gaza”, amplifying the voices of those affected and ensuring that the genocide is neither ignored nor forgotten.
