Protesters march in Mauritania against Israeli siege of Gaza
Video footage taken by our Al Jazeera Arabic colleagues showed residents of the Mauritanian capital, Nouakchott, taking to the streets to denounce the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza. The protesters, including children and women, were seen waving Mauritanian and Palestinian flags while shouting slogans against Israel.
The protesters are demanding that Israel lift the blockade against starving Palestinians and end the deadly strikes that have displaced hundreds of thousands of people. According to the latest figures from UN OCHA, nearly 200,000 people were displaced in Gaza in the last two weeks alone.

US children’s YouTube star Ms Rachel says world leaders must be ‘ashamed’
YouTube star Ms Rachel, who is massively popular in the US for her children’s content, has released a video directed at leaders who see Israel’s mass killing in Gaza and ignore it.
“You saw the doctor who had her nine children come to her who had been killed. You saw the little girl walking through the fire,” she said in a video post on Instagram.
“It’s never been wrong to say not to starve children, not bomb children, and not to kill 15,000 children. What’s wrong is to be silent.”
Ms Rachel has been using her platform to raise awareness about the horrors unfolding in Gaza, and last week met with a three-year-old from the enclave who lost her legs in an Israeli air strike.

Students stage graduation walkout at New York’s Hunter College in support of Gaza
Dozens of students walked out of a graduation ceremony at New York’s Hunter College on Friday, chanting pro-Palestinian slogans during the dean’s speech.
Footage shows the group exiting the hall to a mix of cheers from some in the audience. Outside, the students were joined by a larger group of pro-Palestinian protesters demanding the school sever financial ties with Israel-linked companies.
Last year, a series of pro-Palestinian protests, starting at New York’s Columbia University, swept colleges across the country.
The Trump administration has since launched a campaign against pro-Palestinian activism on college campuses, including by revoking the visas of foreign students critical of Israel.
