Some positivity in the Palestine tag! The Ecuadorian interfaith pilgrimage for ceasefire in palestine gets over 100 participants, and media coverage! Palestina, escucha: tu lucha es nuestra lucha! translation of article: We do not want to be unphased in the face of this global situation that affects us all, including our country, said Monsignor Victor Corral before beginning the walk that called for peace for the Palestinian people.
The journey, in which people of various beliefs participated, started from the Lutheran Church in Quito, passed by the Israeli embassy and ended after 10.25 kilometers in Carolina park.
In front of the diplomatic headquarters in Tel Aviv, religious leaders lamented the pain of Palestinian fathers and mothers who lost their children, the destruction of the entire infrastructure of Gazan families, forced to migrate towards an uncertain future.
“Ecuador with Palestine” and “The children of Gaza are not a threat” were repeated over and over again by Muslims, Catholics, Protestants and representatives of social organizations who with flags and banners rejected the Zionist genocide. [translator's note: there were Jews as well there, but it is not mentioned in the article, though one is shown in photos]
The population of the Gaza Strip is exposed to horrendous and inhuman crimes caused by Israeli aggression, which caused the death of thousands of innocent people, denounced Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
According to official data, since the start of the war, in October 2023, more than 32 thousand people have died in the besieged coastal enclave and almost 75 thousand have been injured.
Social and political organizations in Ecuador have expressed their rejection of the support of President Daniel Noboa's government for Israel in the midst of the genocide against the people of Palestine and accuse the president and the chancellor, Gabriela Sommerfeld, of being "complicit in the genocide."
