Simultaneously, a massive protest took place at a square near the Geneva Post Office before marching to the historic Palais Wilson, which houses the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Carrying Palestinian flags, the demonstrators voiced their anger over the ongoing Israeli aggression and highlighted the impact on civilians and children. They chanted against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Joe Biden, and countries supporting the aggression, calling for an immediate ceasefire and an end to what they described as the genocide in Gaza.

"Israel" has left extensive casualties—ranging from at least 40,900 to 186,000 Palestinians, mainly children and women. Thousands more are believed to be buried beneath the rubble, with at least 94,000 wounded and the overwhelming majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million population forcibly displaced. Despite it all, the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza continues live and unabated for 388 days.
