Korean students are protesting for Palestine.
Since October 2023, over 34,735 Palestinians, many of whom are innocent women and children, have been killed due to Israel’s attacks in the Gaza Strip, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. At least 78,108 Palestinians have been injured, and many are struggling to survive as they have been displaced, starved, and lost family, friends, and homes.
People around the world are speaking up in solidarity with Palestine, calling for a ceasefire. Many are asking for companies, organizations, etc., to divest from Israel. Recently, Seoul National University students hosted a sit-in for Palestine.
