Italian MPs Rally at Egypt's Gaza Border Against Genocide
A group of Italian parliamentarians rallied on Sunday in front of Egypt's Rafah border crossing with Gaza, urging the international community to put an end to Israel's genocide in Gaza and allow the entry of humanitarian aid, according to AFP. The group consisted of 11 members of the Italian parliament, three MEPs as well as representatives of NGOs. They raised signs reading 'Stop genocide now', 'End illegal occupation' and 'Stop arming Israel'. 'Europe is not doing enough, nothing to stop the massacre,' Cecilia Strada, an Italian member of the European parliament, told AFP. The demonstrators also placed toys on the ground in solidarity with Gaza's children, who are currently facing 'a growing risk of starvation, illness and death' more than two months into a total Israeli aid blockade. 'There should be a complete embargo on weapons to and from Israel and a stop to trade with illegal settlements,' Strada said. Wide Condemnation Recently, UN and international community have pressed on Israel to immediately end its aid blockade, condemning critical shortages of food, clean water, fuel and medicines. 'We hear the bombs right now. The Israeli army continues to do what it believes is right in the face of an international community that does not intervene, and in Gaza, beyond the Rafah crossing border, people continue to die,' Walter Massa, president of Italian non-profit organization Associazione Ricreativa Culturale Italiana, said. Meanwhile, Italian government on Saturday repeated its calls to Israel to stop its airstrikes in Gaza, with Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani saying: 'Enough with the attacks. We no longer want to see the Palestinian people suffer.' Since the beginning of Hamas-Israel War in Gaza in 2023, the Israeli strikes have killed at least 53,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 118,000, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

Italian MPs protest at Egypt's Gaza border against war
RAFAH (Egypt): Italian parliamentarians protested on Sunday in front of Egypt's Rafah border crossing with Gaza, calling for aid access and an end to the war in the devastated Palestinian territory. 'Europe is not doing enough, nothing to stop the massacre,' Cecilia Strada, an Italian member of the European parliament, told AFP. The group — including 11 members of the Italian parliament, three MEPs and representatives of NGOs — held signs reading 'Stop genocide now', 'End illegal occupation' and 'Stop arming Israel'. 'There should be a complete embargo on weapons to and from Israel and a stop to trade with illegal settlements,' Strada said. The protesters laid toys on the ground in solidarity with Gaza's children, who the UN warns face 'a growing risk of starvation, illness and death' more than two months into a total Israeli aid blockade. At least 15,000 children have been killed in Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023, according to the United Nations. Israel has faced mounting pressure to lift its aid blockade, as UN agencies warn of critical shortages of food, clean water, fuel and medicines. It resumed its offensive on March 18, ending a two-month truce in its war against Hamas triggered by the Palestinian militant group's October 2023 attack on Israel. On Saturday Israel announced an expanded military campaign, killing dozens of people in new strikes. 'We hear the bombs right now,' Walter Massa, president of Italian non-profit organisation Associazione Ricreativa Culturale Italiana, told AFP near the crossing. 'The Israeli army continues to do what it believes is right in the face of an international community that does not intervene, and in Gaza, beyond the Rafah crossing border, people continue to die,' he said. UN chief Antonio Guterres said Saturday said he was 'alarmed' at the escalation and called for 'a permanent ceasefire, now'. Italy's government on Saturday reiterated its calls to Israel to stop attacking Gaza, with Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani saying: 'Enough with the attacks.' 'We no longer want to see the Palestinian people suffer,' Tajani said. Gaza's health ministry said Sunday 3,193 people have been killed since Israel resumed its strikes on March 18, taking the war's overall toll to 53,339.
