The Inishowen Palestine Solidarity Group is holding a vigil in Buncrana this Friday to mark the 300th day of the war in Gaza.
The death toll of Israel’s ground and air campaign in Palestine has reached more than 39,000 people. More than 1,200 people have been killed in Israeli communities.
Members of the Inishowen Palestine Solidarity group are asking people in the area to join on Friday 2nd of August on the Iron Bridge, Railway Road Buncrana at 4pm for a vigil.
The group says the vigil holds poignance as it highlights 300 “unbearable days during which the Palestinian civilian population have been relentless bombed, murdered, maimed, forcibly evacuated and displaced countless times, shot at, tortured, lost whole families, and are now dying too in increasing numbers due to a policy of deliberate starvation by Israel blocking vital aid coming in.
“If you feel horrified, grief-stricken and outraged at this continuing Genocide perpetrated by the Israeli government against the Palestinian civilian population, and so many victims of it little children, please join us this Friday at 4pm in Buncrana.”
