In Sarajevo, a new gathering of support for the Palestinians in Gaza, organized by the International Organization for Development (IOD).
Many participants in the rally, mostly young people, carried the flags of Palestine and Bosnia and Herzegovina and banners with the inscriptions “Those who support genocide are the same as those who commit it”, “Don’t talk to murderers of children and innocents” and “Palestine, you are not alone” , Bosnia is always with you” and others.
The participants chanted slogans against the war, the occupation and the killing of children in Gaza.
The organizers stated that the aim of this event is to raise awareness of the difficult humanitarian conditions faced by people in Palestine and to honor the memories of those who lost their lives.
“We want to point out the catastrophic situation in Palestine. We want to call for a ceasefire, an end to genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing. This is the third peaceful walk that we have organized and each time we hope that there will be no need for the next one. Unfortunately, every two to for three weeks we are obliged to organize a peaceful walk and show that the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina are with the people of Palestine”, said Safija Tadefi, one of the organizers of the rally.
She called on everyone living in more influential countries, especially in the USA, to “raise their voices and put pressure on their governments to stop the genocide in Gaza.”
Among the countless citizens who responded to the peaceful walk is Adela Korać, who lives in France. As she said, the pictures from the Gaza Strip make them very sad and they try to do everything to help.
“Anyone who has humanity in them will support all of this, and to imagine that it can happen to us too. That it will never happen again to anyone. We are here to support, to pray, as much as possible, because maybe this very prayer will save us.” , said Korac.
The participants gathered in front of Sebilje in Baščaršija and formed a column that passed through the streets of Sarajevo towards the center of Aria, where a humanitarian bazaar was organized.
“We are cooperating with the organization Human Appeal, which currently has its own people on the ground in Gaza. We were able to deliver several food packages. We are working on collecting donations so that we can get waterproof tents and deliver them to Gaza. We have a humanitarian bazaar, there will be a sale of cakes and other small things, and everyone is welcome,” Tadefi said.
Two large protests in support of the Palestinians in Gaza were previously held in Sarajevo, and several smaller peaceful protests were held in front of international institutions, AA writes.
