- Story Text: Crowds in Jordan took to the streets of Amman on Friday (March 8) protesting in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
Demonstrators chanted pro-Palestinian slogans and held up signs that read "From al-Aqsa to Gaza, let's break the siege". They demanded relief for Palestinians in Gaza strip as the fasting Muslim holy month of Ramadan approaches.
Jordan, which lies at the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict, hosts 2.4 million Palestinian refugees, the largest number of such refugees among Israel's neighbours. Many of its citizens are of Palestinian origin.
Gaza’s health ministry said on Friday (March 8) that at least 30,878 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's military offensive, launched after Hamas attacks that killed 1,200 people in October, according to Israeli tallies.
