'We are here for humanity': About 40 peaceful protesters marched through the streets of Sault Ste. Marie Friday evening calling for an end to the conflict between Israel and Hamas
A group of protesters marched past offices of all three levels of government Friday evening, demanding an end to bombing in Gaza and an end to a blockade stopping humanitarian aid from entering the area.
“To see people coming out regardless of their religion, their ethnic backgrounds, their political affiliations, come out and say stop the violence and stop the senseless killing and get along with it and make peace — enough is enough — it’s very heartwarming," said Abakar."It's up to us to send a strong message to the people of Gaza and the people of Israel to say we want peace — the world wants peace for you and want you to coexist,” said Abakar.
Dania Kuzbari, who spoke during the Friday event in Sault Ste. Marie, said no voice is too little to help end the conflict.
