2024-03-08 ‘What International Women’s Day?’ Asks Gaza Amid Israeli Genocide Friday is International Women’s Day, but Gaza residents enduring Israel’s genocidal onslaught aren’t celebrating, they’re struggling to keep themselves and their children alive and pleading with the world for an immediate cease-fire to relieve their suffering.
“On International Women’s Day, the women in Gaza continue to endure the consequences of this brutal war,” the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said on social media. “At least 9,000 women have been killed; many more are under the rubble. On average, 63 women are killed in Gaza per day—37 are mothers who leave their families behind.” https://www.commondreams.org/news/women-s-day-gaza? 2024-03-08 No Women’s Day in Gaza, say mothers of hungry children Women’s Day? At a tent in Rafah where Um Zaki said she was boiling porridge on an open flame to stave off the hunger of her six children, the holiday passed as a cruel joke. “Now, all our days look the same. The days of feasts, happy occasions, nice food, laughter and hope, are all gone because of the war,” she told Reuters by phone. “What is Women’s Day? We are deprived of the minimal rights, we are deprived of living. Every day women die by Israeli bombs.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/no-women-s-day-in-gaza-say-mothers-of-hungry-children/ar-BB1jyRf0
