This global outcry is a response to the harrowing toll the conflict has taken on civilian lives, with reports of thousands killed, including a distressing proportion of women and children. These events have sparked a series of demonstrations worldwide, with protestors demanding an immediate ceasefire and expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people.
