Pro-Palestine Demonstrators March To Un Office İn Geneva

Hundreds of protesters marched to the headquarters of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights at Palais Wilson in Geneva on Saturday to protest against Israel's onslaught on the Gaza Strip and UN's attitude towards the conflict.



About 700 people on Saturday amassed in the demonstration in support of Gaza, which started from Molard square and ended in front of the Palais Wilson in Geneva, Switzerland.



Some protesters carried banners indicating the names and ages of the Palestinians who died in Israeli attacks on Gaza, while some others were carrying coffins covered with Palestinian flags symbolic of dead Gazans.



Shouting anti-Israeli slogans and urging the international community to act for Palestine, protesters condemned the silence of the world leaders over the Gaza tragedy.



At least 1046 Palestinians have been killed – mostly civilians – and more than 5900 others injured in Israel's offensive, now in its third week.



Israel's military operation, dubbed operation "Protective Edge," is the self-proclaimed Jewish state's third major offensive against the densely-populate Gaza Strip – which is home to some 1.8 million Palestinians – within the last six years.
