WEST BANK, PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES, AUG 3 – Protesters highlighted the rising number of Palestinian detainees and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with many government employees given leave to join demonstrations, organizers said.
- On August 3, Palestinians across the West Bank protested in Ramallah, Nablus, and Hebron against the Gaza war and support for detainees.

- Tagreed Ziada, a 39-year-old protester, said the march aimed to support Gaza and hungry children, while Thaer Shriteh told AFP that the international community is complicit unless it intervenes quickly.
- With entry tightly controlled, experts warn a “famine is unfolding” in the Gaza Strip as UN agencies and humanitarian groups say much of the food aid is looted or diverted.
