Hundreds of activists and members of community organizations in the US state of Illinois organized a vigil to honor the martyrs of the Gaza Strip, whose number exceeded 45,000 since October 7, 2023.
According to the Palestinian news agency “Wafa”, the organizers of the vigil, which was organized in the city of Chicago, shed light on the ongoing “genocide” to which the Palestinian people are being subjected in the Gaza Strip.
The activists appealed to the US administration and Congress, both houses (Representatives and Senate), to intervene to stop these massacres and end the war immediately to protect the remaining residents of the Strip, especially in the north, which has been besieged by the Zionist enemy forces for nearly two months.
Activists also organized another vigil in the famous “Times Square” area in New York to demand a ceasefire and an end to the war in the Strip.
