JU condemns Gaza killings, calls for int'l intervention to halt bloodshed

Jahangirnagar University authorities have condemned the ongoing violence in Gaza, terming the actions of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) as genocide and urging the international community to take swift measures to halt the bloodshed.

The university expressed grave concern over the widespread killing of civilians, particularly women and children and the indiscriminate destruction of homes and infrastructure in Gaza, according to a press release signed by the acting director of JU's Public Relations Office on Monday.

Meanwhile, a group of Jahangirnagar University School and College students staged a demonstration at around 11:00 am at JU's central Shaheed Minar premises in protest of Israeli brutalism and demanded a free Palestine.
