Gaza under attack

Its nothing new hearing about Palestine being under attack. Its been going on for as long as I can remember. I was probably in Grade 5 when I went to my first march against the ordeals the Palestinians are going through. For the past few days my newsfeed on all social media platforms has been bombed bombarded with gruesome pictures of the civilians being tortured and killed mercilessly. I can hardly look at most of them without getting all teary eyed and squeamish.

Alhamdullilah, By the grace of God, I joined over 30 000 people on Wednesday morning who gathered in Cape town for a march  to free Palestine. "Forward we shall march. Forward we shall march. Forward we shall march to a free ,free palestine"was the song of the day all the way through to parliament. It was heartwarming to see people from all ethnic backgrounds and religions standing together for a united cause. The peaceful protest went on for about 2 hours. We have entered the last 10 days of fasting and the best would be to pray for our brothers and sisters in Gaza.

I loved how a prayer was done by different religious leaders to start the march on a high note.
The amount of people that attended spoke for itself.

According to Tashreeq Truebody from Radio786 the death toll now stands at 292 in 11 days of Israeli onslaught. YOu dont have to be muslim to stand up for Gaza, You just need to be human. 

Anyone wanting to assist can do so by making a donation to The Gift of the Givers foundation that contributes towards medical supplies in Palestine.

Let us bow our heads, even if just for a minute and pray for the souls who were matryed and those going through this difficult time.
