People across Bangladesh, including students, professionals, and political activists, staged widespread protests condemning Israel’s attacks on Gaza. Demonstrations, human chains, and strikes were organized in Dhaka and other cities. Students from major universities like Dhaka University, BUET, and BRAC University suspended classes and held rallies expressing solidarity with Palestinians. Protesters carried Palestinian flags and chanted slogans demanding an end to the genocide and justice for war crimes. The movement aligned with a global call from Palestinian activists urging institutions to close in protest. Authorities increased security in diplomatic zones like Gulshan and Baridhara. According to UN reports, Israeli strikes since October 7, 2023, have killed over 50,000 Palestinians and destroyed around 69% of Gaza’s infrastructure.
