Some of the crowd who gathered at the Market Square in Dundalk today
Sinn Féin in Dundalk today held a protest at the Market Square to show their solidarity with the people of Gaza who are under siege.
At the time of the protest, Israel had resumed its rocket fire on Gaza after a brief ceasefire. Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the world so any rocket that is fired into it will find civilian casualties. There have been countless images and videos lately on social media documenting the horrors faced by the Palestinian people.
This cross community event saw around 500 people turn out in what for the majority was a way of showing their support for the besieged Palestinians.
One woman at the event said “I have seen these images on Facebook and wanted to do more than just ‘like and share’, I felt moved to come here today and show my support.”
Similar events are organised for the day across the country.
