Title: Palestinian Human Chain View count: 151 Rating: 0 (0 ratings) Description: Palestinians protesting against an Israeli-led blockade have formed a human chain along roads in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Hundreds of women and children, many holding Palestinian and Hamas flags, turned out for the start of what organizers said they hoped would be a peaceful protest involving some 50,000 people and draw international attention. The Zionist regime deployed thousands of troops and police officers along the border with the Gaza Strip, fearing the mass demonstration would turn violent. "The Siege of Gaza Will Only Strengthen Us," "The World Has Condemned Gaza to Death" and "Save Gaza" were among banners brandished by demonstrators, who were gathering peacefully. The Popular Committee Against the Siege, a politically independent group headed by Jamal al-Khudari, an MP with close links to the Islamist Hamas movement, had called for the demonstration against the months-long siege. The aim was to construct a human chain from the sealed Rafah crossing on Gaza's southern border with Egypt to the Beit Hanun (Erez) crossing in the north along the territory's main highway.
