🚢 Thousands of passionate Bangladeshis flooded the streets of Dhaka this week ✊🌍. They came together to protest Israel's interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a humanitarian convoy challenging the blockade of Gaza.
Last Friday, Israeli military personnel boarded the flotilla vessels, detaining over 470 activists from around the world. Four Italian citizens were already deported, and more could face deportation as Israel's Foreign Ministry prepares paperwork for the remaining crew.
Protesters held signs with messages like 'Free Gaza' and 'Humanitarian Aid Now,' chanting slogans late into the night. Students, professionals, and families showed up, highlighting growing solidarity with Gaza among young people 📣.
In a world where social media is king, the hashtag #FreeGaza trended in Bangladesh as netizens shared videos from the rally. Many see this as part of a broader movement demanding safe passage for aid and renewed dialogue on the region's future.
While diplomatic channels work behind the scenes, voices on the ground in Dhaka made it clear: they won't stay silent until humanitarian aid reaches those in need. The energy is high, and the message is simple—aid must get through 🚀.
