TEHRAN, May 02 (MNA) – Palestinian children gathered in the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on Wednesday to express gratitude to US and Canadian university students amid Israel’s ongoing offensive on the enclave.

"Thank you to the brave students in American universities" and "Thank you for standing with Gaza," read some banners waved by the children in the city of Deir al-Balah, Anadolu reported.

Israel has waged an unrelenting offensive on the Palestinian enclave since last Oct. 7.

More than 34,500 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and thousands of others injured amid mass destruction and severe shortages of necessities.

More than six months into the Israeli war, vast swathes of Gaza lay in ruins, pushing 85% of the enclave’s population into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine, according to the UN.

Israel stands blamed for genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
