Such a tragedy underscores the urgent need for an immediate cease-fire and the opening of humanitarian corridors to allow the safe passage of aid to ease the suffering of the Palestinian people.

The Palestinian community made an explicit call to the Chilean government to step up actions to force Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration to immediately cease this genocide.

Palestinians in Chile also urged Gabriel Boric to lead diplomatic efforts, together with the international community, to guarantee protection for civilians in Gaza.
