In a powerful display of solidarity, scores of students from Helwan University in Egypt gathered to perform the absentee funeral prayer for the martyrs of Palestine. This poignant act took place in front of the central university restaurant.
Following this, the students staged a demonstration within the university campus, passionately chanting in support of Palestine. The resounding cry of "With our souls, with our blood, we sacrifice for you, Palestine" resonated prominently among the condemnatory slogans directed at the Zionist occupation forces and their actions against the Palestinian people.
This event coincided with protests initiated across various Egyptian universities, led by Cairo University. The students commenced their march from the university hour, encompassing the vicinity of the Faculty of Arts, and then extending throughout the university grounds. Participants fervently exclaimed, "Unity, unity... Arab unity," and "They killed infants and children with the bullets of occupation," among other spirited slogans, all in solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
Simultaneously, students from Ain Shams University organized a demonstration, where dozens of students within the university campus expressed their condemnation of the Zionist occupation forces' actions against Palestinians. Their demonstration stood as a testament to their unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and their rejection of the aggression launched by Israeli occupation forces on the Gaza Strip.
Egyptian university students rose in unison just last Wednesday, rallying across the expanse of their university campuses, to express their support for the Palestinian cause and their rejection of the aggression waged by Israeli occupation forces on the Gaza Strip. This aggression has resulted in the tragic loss of hundreds of lives, particularly children. The most recent atrocity was the bombardment of the Al-Madani Hospital, which commenced late on October 17, claiming nearly 500 victims, most of whom were children.
In a show of unprecedented solidarity, thousands of students from various universities, including Cairo, Minya, Alexandria, Fayoum, and Kafr El-Sheikh, organized massive demonstrations. The rallying cry "With our souls, with our blood, we sacrifice for you, Gaza" echoed through the streets. The demonstrations also included chants supportive of Egypt's stance, endorsing the decisions of the President, and demanding the opening of the Rafah crossing to facilitate the delivery of aid.
These impassioned gatherings bear testament to the deep-rooted empathy and solidarity that Egyptian students hold for the plight of their Palestinian brothers and sisters. The unified voice that resonates from these campuses is a resounding call for justice and an end to the suffering endured by the people of Palestine
