STORYLINE:
Dozens of activists and students gathered in New Delhi to mark first anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel which sparked the war in Gaza.
Holding up posters in support of Palestinians and Lebanon, the protesters demanded an end to Israel’s attacks on Gaza.
“This is a genocide of thousands of innocent children and people," Shweta Raj, a social activist from New Delhi, said.
One year ago today, Hamas launched a surprise attack into Israel, killing 1,200 Israelis, taking 250 people hostage and setting off a war with Israel that has shattered much of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
“The biggest role [India] can play is by imposing an arms embargo on Israel," said Sayed Ishfaq, a university student.
More than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed since then in Gaza, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between fighters and civilians. It says more than half were women and children. Nearly 100 Israeli hostages remain in Gaza, with fewer than 70 believed to be alive.
Yogesh Swami, a political activist, said "India’s public stands with Palestinians. Whatever be the stand of our government, we support Palestinians."
