Gaza children protest Halabi's detention

PIC reported:

Dozens of Palestinian children and activists rallied in the blockaded Gaza Strip on Sunday in protest at Israel’s abduction of Mohammad al- Halabi, manager of the World Vision charity operations in Gaza.

The rally-goers gathered outside the World Vision headquarters in Gaza City, lifting the pictures of activist al-Halabi.

Participants in the vigil called for the immediate release of al-Halabi, calling him “humanity’s savior.”

Al-Halabi, 38, was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces on May 15 while crossing the Beit Hanoun border-crossing into the enclave.

The Israeli intelligence service Shabak accused him of diverting cash to the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas.

However, both Hamas and the World Vision Charity denied Israeli allegations that al-Halabi passed millions of dollars to the group.
