Students’ Federation of India (SFI) members were
detained in the national capital while holding a pro-Palestine demonstration on
Monday.
SFI members were detained at Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road
in the national capital when they were on their way to the Israel Embassy to
hold a demonstration amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
There have been a number of public rallies in India
both in support of Israel and Palestine since the war between Israel and Hamas
began after the terror group’s sudden attack in Israel on October 7.
Meanwhile, on October 19, Women in the Saidabad area
of Hyderabad gathered at a Dargah ground to demonstrate solidarity with
Palestine.
“We gathered at a Dargah ground to demonstrate
solidarity with Palestine,” another women supporter said.
Approximately 2,500 individuals, including Hamas terrorists,
breached the border and carried out violent actions in southern Israel,
resulting in the deaths of about 1,400 people, the majority of whom were
civilians.
Additionally, they took at least 222 individuals
hostage and transported them to Gaza, according to Times of Israel.
A third fleet of vehicles carrying essential aid made
its way into Gaza through the Rafah crossing with Egypt, as reported by CNN.
Gaza, home to over 2 million civilians, faces the
ongoing threat of severe dehydration and starvation due to Israel’s persistent
bombardment and complete blockade.
Over the weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, a total of
34 trucks transported much-needed supplies, including food, water, medications,
and medical equipment from Egypt to Gaza via the same crossing.
Despite these efforts, human rights organisations have
expressed concerns that insufficient aid has reached the Palestinian enclave.
UN experts declared Israel’s actions in Gaza to be
tantamount to crimes against humanity on Thursday. With Israel’s border
crossings closed to Gaza, the Rafah crossing connecting Egypt and Gaza remains
the only viable route for delivering aid to the Palestinian enclave.
US President Joe Biden held a telephone conversation
with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, with both leaders
affirming the need to ensure the continued flow of humanitarian aid and relief
materials into Gaza.
