Protests Erupt Across US in Support of Ceasefire in Israel-Hamas Conflict

Nearly a thousand people marched through downtown San Diego in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, calling for a ceasefire and an end to Israel's blockade and airstrikes. The protest marked the third pro-Palestinian demonstration in San Diego since the conflict began on October 7. Demonstrators urged local officials to support a ceasefire and raise awareness about the long-standing Israeli occupation and siege on Gaza and the West Bank. Meanwhile, humanitarian aid began to trickle into Gaza, but it is still far from meeting the needs of the displaced and affected civilians.
