**Summary:**

On August 3, 2025, thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank cities of Ramallah, Nablus, and Hebron protested the ongoing war in Gaza and the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. The Ramallah protest, the largest, featured demonstrators waving Palestinian flags, holding photos of the deceased and imprisoned, and staging symbolic displays highlighting the hunger crisis in Gaza and the impact on children. Protesters decried the lack of medicine and food for Palestinian prisoners, and the international community’s perceived inaction. The increased number of Palestinians jailed by Israel since the start of the Gaza war, including for social media posts, was a key point of contention. Demonstrators hoped their actions would support the people of Gaza and the starving children of the conflict.

**West Bank Erupts in Protests Over Gaza War, Palestinian Prisoners**

*Ramallah, Palestinian Territories – August 3, 2025* – Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets across major West Bank cities on Sunday, August 3rd, in a coordinated show of solidarity with Gaza and Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. The demonstrations, the largest seen in the region recently, highlight growing discontent over the ongoing conflict and the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the Gaza Strip.

In Ramallah, the administrative capital of the Palestinian Authority, hundreds gathered waving Palestinian flags and carrying photographs of those killed or imprisoned by Israeli forces. Protesters also staged powerful visual displays, including individuals dressed as skeletons and holding dolls, to draw attention to the devastating impact of the war on children and the acute malnutrition crisis gripping Gaza.

“We hope that our stand today will have an impact in supporting our people in Gaza and the hungry children in Gaza,” said Tagreed Ziada, a protester in Ramallah.

The plight of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails was another key focus of the demonstrations. Rula Ghanem, a Palestinian academic, shared her concern about her son who is being held in Megido prison, describing the denial of medicine and the lack of food. Ghanem also noted her son has lost weight and suffers from scabies. According to the Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs, the number of Palestinians jailed by Israel has surged since the Gaza war began.

“The international community is a partner in all this suffering, as long as it does not intervene quickly to save the Palestinian people and save the prisoners inside the prisons and detention centre,” said Thaer Shriteh, a spokesman for the Palestinian Commission of Detainees.

Protests also took place in Nablus and Hebron, with reports indicating that many government employees were given the day off to participate.

The protests come amidst growing international concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where aid deliveries have been severely restricted, leading to warnings of an impending famine. The demonstrations reflect a rising frustration and desperation within the Palestinian community, and calls for greater international intervention to address the ongoing conflict and the suffering of the Palestinian people.

This situation will continue to be closely monitored by the international community including India.
