KARACHI:

Thousands of city residents on Sunday, including women and children, marched along the seaside in the Seaview area to express solidarity with Palestinians and against the genocide in Gaza.

The marchers, carrying placards and banners, chanted slogans against Israel, it's coalition partners and silent supporters in the Muslim world.

The civil society, professionals and a large number of families participated in the march staged by the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi.

JI Karachi Ameer Monem Zafar said that Palestinians have been facing a bloodshed, genocide, bombardment, death and hunger for the past 450 days but the majority of world powers and Muslim countries have been supporting the genocide either by sponsoring it through arms deals or diplomatic support or by keeping mum over the crimes against humanity in Gaza by Israel.

He said that there are 57 Islamic countries, with seven million soldiers, equipped with state of the art weaponry as well as resources but unfortunately they all lack courage and dignity.

Zafar said that Gaza has divided the world into two poles: the people of conscience and the followers of might, no matter how satanic it is. Palestine Foundation President Sabir Abu Maryam in his address lambasted the rulers for their inclination towards the two state solution proposed by the US. Former Sindh health minister Saad Khalid Niaz said that for the first time in the history, hospitals were bombed to ashes in a conflict.
