Thousands of Palestinian refugees participated in solidarity marches across Palestinian camps in Syria to celebrate the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which followed a 368-day war. The conflict claimed over 40,000 lives, the majority of whom were women and children, and destroyed approximately 70% of residential areas in the Gaza Strip.
Our reporters captured scenes of the demonstrations, where women, children, and the elderly took part. Palestinian flags and those of the “new Syria” were prominently raised in camps such as Khan al-Shih, Khan Dunun, al-Nayrab, and al-Aedin in Homs and Hama, as well as Yarmouk, Sabinah, al-Husayniyah, and several other Syrian cities.
Participants expressed relief at the end of the aggression and lauded the prisoner exchange deal, which will result in the release of more than 1,000 Palestinian detainees from Israeli prisons, including those serving life sentences and representing various Palestinian factions.
During the marches, protesters chanted slogans condemning the United States for its political and military support of Israel and criticized its use of the veto in the UN Security Council to protect the occupation. The demonstrators called for the opening of borders to allow them to join Palestinians in defending their rights and dignity.
These protests reflect a widespread popular movement within the Palestinian community in Syria, despite the dire conditions many are facing. Protesters reaffirmed their commitment to the right of return to their lands occupied since 1948 and rejected any efforts to displace Gaza’s residents to Egypt or other countries.
At the marches’ conclusion, participants reiterated their unwavering support for the Palestinian resistance, calling for unity among Palestinian factions and an end to internal pisions to achieve the Palestinian people’s aspirations for liberation and return
