Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi has raised her voice against the relentless bombing in Gaza, emphasizing the urgent need for international intervention.
Expressing deep concern over the escalating crisis, the leader highlighted the dire situation on the ground. The bombing, more intense since the truce, has resulted in severe shortages of food, destruction of medical facilities, and the shutdown of basic amenities. Shockingly, the toll on innocent lives has reached 16,000, with nearly 10,000 children among the casualties, along with over 60 journalists and hundreds of medical workers.
Priyanka Gandhi passionately underscored the human aspect of the tragedy, stressing that these victims are individuals with dreams and aspirations, facing ruthless devastation before the eyes of the world. The question posed: Where is our humanity?
Drawing attention to India’s history of advocating for justice on the international stage, Priyanka reminded that the country played a pivotal role in supporting the end of apartheid in South Africa and has been steadfast in backing the Palestinian struggle for freedom. However, Priyanka lamented the current inaction in the face of an unfolding genocide.
Calling on India to fulfill its duty as a responsible member of the international community, Priyanka urged immediate action to facilitate a ceasefire. The plea resonates with the belief that it is incumbent upon India to stand up for what is right and do everything possible to halt the tragic events unfolding in Gaza.
