Moroccans Hold 110 Protests Against Israeli Genocide

About 110 protests in 66 cities in Morocco were held, Friday, condemning the Israeli genocide on Gaza. The demonstrations were organized by the Moroccan Association for the Support of the Nation’s Causes

The Association, an NGO stressed in a statement “the Moroccan people took part in 110 demonstrations in 66 cities in support of Gaza on the 73rd Al-Aqsa Flood Friday, organized under the slogan: Gaza Cries Out to You.”

It added participants condemn the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the accompanying crimes of killing, displacement, starvation, and siege, in addition to the targeting of all aspects of a dignified life guaranteed by all international norms and conventions, in light of “the largest killing operation in history” as reported by Anadolu.

Since 2 March, 2025, Israel closed the Gaza Strip’s crossings and banned the entry of food, relief, medical aid, and goods, causing a significant deterioration in the humanitarian situation of Palestinians, according to governmental, human rights, and international reports.

The genocide continues amid “blatant and unjustified official international silence,” the Assocoation maintained.

It noted that the protesters affirmed their continued “support and assistance to Gaza and all of Palestine until the aggression stops and the Palestinian people are empowered to fully exercise their rights.”

Solidarity demonstrations were held all over the Kingdom including in Casablanca, Inzegane, Oujda, Meknes, Kelaat Sraghna, Tangier, and Tetouan.

In early March, the first phase of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel, which went into effect on January 19, 2025, concluded with Egyptian and Qatari mediation and American support.

While Hamas adhered to the terms of the first phase, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, renounced the start of the second phase in response to extremists in his ruling coalition, according to Hebrew media.

Since March 18, Israel has resumed its genocidal crimes by launching violent, widespread airstrikes, most of which targeted civilians in homes and tents housing displaced persons.

With full American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 168,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.

Israel Kills 200 Lebanese Children – UNICEF

More than four children have been killed or injured every day on average in Lebanon in the first 25 days of a temporary ceasefire with families still unable to return to their homes, said Save the Children.

New data from Lebanon’s Ministry of Health on Tuesday showed that 22 children have been killed and 89 injured since the temporary ceasefire started on 17 April. This brings the number of children killed in Israeli strikes since renewed escalation in hostilities in Lebanon on 2 March to almost 200 with about 2,900 people killed.

The violence and renewed displacement orders have forced more than one million people – or one in six of the population – from their homes with many now living with relatives, in host communities or in collective shelters.

The number of families living in collective shelters has increased 5% since the conditional ceasefire due to renewed displacement orders by Israeli forces and as families return home to find destroyed houses and damaged farmland so move back the collective shelters. There are now 44,800 children among about 125,000 people in collective shelters.

Thousands of children have been living in collective shelters for over two months in overcrowded conditions with inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene facilities leading to reports of scabies and growing health concerns.

Parents are reporting widespread behavioural changes among children living in collective shelters due to a lack of routine and reduced school engagement including loss of appetite and trouble sleeping. Many children are struggling to continue learning with some schools used as collective shelters and also difficulties accessing online learning due to limited electricity, and poor connectivity.

Tala*, 10, has been living in a collective shelter after being displaced from southern Lebanon, said:

“I just want the war to end so I can go home to my village and sleep in my own bed. I really miss school, I want to see my teachers and be with my friends, and study and play again.”

Nora Ingdal, Save the Children’s Lebanon Country Director, said:

“This ‘so called’ ceasefire that still sees more than four children killed or injured every day is not a ceasefire for children. Attacks on civilians have not stopped – it has simply continued under another name. Colleagues have told me that the airstrikes feel more intense in some areas than they ever did before. Children are not safe until there is a permanent and definitive ceasefire with no violations.”

With further peace talks set to take place on Thursday to determine next steps between Lebanon and Israel, Save the Children is calling on the international community to urgently work toward a permanent and definitive ceasefire and ensure flexible and sustained funding to protect children and allow families to return home to resume their lives.

Save the Children has worked in Lebanon since 1953. In collaboration with partners and local authorities, we are distributing essential items in hard-to-reach areas in the south, provide psychosocial support for children, educate families and children about the risks of unexploded ordnance, ensure access to safe water and sanitation facilities, and distribute essential items for those displaced.
