Hunger Strike Marks Nakba Anniversary: Activist Demands End to Gaza Crisis

On the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, a Palestinian activist, Maya, initiated a hunger strike at UCLA to raise awareness about the ongoing occupation and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. "Seventy-seven years ago, over 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes," Maya stated in her video. "As Israelis celebrate their Independence Day, Palestinians in Gaza are facing starvation." Maya's protest highlights the long-standing conflict and its impact on Palestinian lives. Her hunger strike underscores the urgency of the situation and the need for renewed dialogue and action. The video shows her wearing her grandmother's house key, a poignant symbol of the generational trauma and the enduring hope for a free Palestine. The video has garnered significant attention online, sparking discussions about the Nakba and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
