× A SOCIALLY-DISTANCED rally was held in the town centre last weekend to show support for Palestinians suffering from Israeli bombardment. A total of 15 people from Barnsley Trades Union Council (BTUC) and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) attended the rally, which was linked to a number of rallies across the country. It marked the 73rd year since the Nakba of 1948 when 700,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes during the creation of Israel. Attendees heard speeches about the destruction of Gaza from Israeli air and tank attacks - the death toll on Saturday was 130 Palestinians, including 32 children. That figure has since risen and more than 200 homes and 24 schools in Gaza have been destroyed.
