Morocco Hosts Art Gallery in Support of Gaza
Titled "story of siege", the two-day event started on March 8 and sought to put on display the sufferings of Palestinians leaving in the Gaza strip as well as their resistance against Israeli attacks, Arabi21 reported.
The event included some photos taken by a number of Palestinian journalists that depict the status of people in Gaza.
A number of Moroccan activists also attended the inauguration ceremony of the event and pointed to their strong support for the Palestinian cause.
The Israeli blockade has turned the enclave into an open-air prison since 2007.
A United Nations report has brought to the fore the monumental toll the blockade has taken on the coastal enclave’s population. The report was released by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on June 30.
About 2.1 million Palestinians in the besieged strip are “locked in,” with a vast majority unable to access the remainder of the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the outside world, the UN report said. “In previous years, patients have died while awaiting a response to their application.”
