Hundreds of people staged a demonstration outside the Irish parliament on Wednesday.
Ireland has announced 13 million euro in additional funding for humanitarian assistance for Palestinians, as the country’s leaders called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Meanwhile, as politicians debated the matter, hundreds of people staged a protest outside the Leinster House complex in Dublin. Mr Martin, who is also Minister for Foreign Affairs, said the Irish Government unequivocally condemns the Hamas attack on Israel and that he had expressed Ireland’s condolences to the Israeli people.
“Water, electricity and fuel supplies into Gaza have been seriously disrupted. Hospitals are running out of power. People are running out of essential supplies. The funding announced by the Irish government on Wednesday amounts to 10 million euro in additional core funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency , which provides essential services to 5.7 million Palestine refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, and an additional three million euro to the UN Office for Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ Occupied Palestinian Territories Humanitarian Fund.
“That condemnation stands in stark contrast to the refusal and failure of our own government in Dublin and in governments across the European Union and the world to condemn Israeli violations of international law.”
