"Oscars Red Carpet Gridlock: Pro-Palestinian Protests Disrupt Hollywood Stars"

About a thousand protesters rallied in Hollywood ahead of the Oscars, calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war, causing frustration and traffic delays for attendees. The demonstrators waved Palestinian flags, chanted for a cease-fire, and highlighted the ongoing conflict's impact on Gaza. Security was tight around the theater, and some members of the entertainment industry voiced support for the Palestinian cause. The war has resulted in a high death toll in Gaza, with officials warning of a potential famine and aid delivery challenges due to the ongoing conflict.
