Israel imposed the siege on Gaza four years ago leading to the death of several hundred patients, including children and infants, while hundreds of seriously ill patients could face the same fate.

Palestinian Legislator, Jamal El Khodary, head of the Popular Committee Against the Siege, will be holding a press conference at the end of the procession, and will demand the Arab leaders, who will convene at the Arab Summit in Libya, to break the siege and defy the illegal Israeli policies.

The protesters would carry flags of all Arab countries participating in the siege and Palestinian flags, in addition to pictures of the victims of the siege.

The committee recently issues several statements and held different activities marking a 1000 days of illegal and deadly Israeli siege on Gaza.
