Story by: Yoshihiro Yakushige
Today, more than 2 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces.
In 2007, Israel built an 8m-high wall in Gaza, preventing the people of Gaza from freely traveling between the outside and the inside. It has been called a "prison without a ceiling." Israeli attacks have cut off electricity, and people are unable to get water or food as they wish. Missiles have also been fired at hospitals and schools. This can only be called genocide.
We will hear from researcher Yakushige, who has been advocating for the Palestinian issue for many years, about why this situation has come to be. Let's think and act together to end this inhumane fighting as soon as possible and bring about peace.
