ISLAMABAD, May 20 (NNN-APP) – Thousands of people, including a large number of women and children, took to the streets in Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi, to express solidarity with the Palestinians.
The protest was held in front of the Karachi Press Club, while journalists and a large number of celebrities, also attended it and demanded Israel to stop attacking innocent people.
The protesters, carrying pro-Palestine placards, chanted slogans against Israel, and called upon the international community to intervene into the matter, to safeguard lives of innocent people of Palestine.
More protests are expected to be held, after yesterday’s demonstration in Karachi, by people from different walks of life across the country.
The protest came at a time when tensions between Israel and Palestine have reportedly left hundreds of Palestinians killed and injured.
Earlier this week, Pakistan announced to observe the Palestine Solidarity Day on May 21 (tomorrow), to register its protest against Israel’s attacks.
