March 2024

The fifteenth vigil was held on Saturday 16th March, this time on the Library steps as it was inclement. The vigil is supported by Salisbury Concern for Israel Palestine (SCIP), CND and the Salisbury Amnesty group. It is in aid of securing peace in that region. Just over 40 attended the event which lasted half an hour. There will be another next Saturday, 23rd March starting at 5:15.

31,000 have now died in Gaza the majority of whom are women and children. Many more are yet to be discovered in the extensive rubble.

There is faint optimism with talks taking place at present and it is reported that Hamas has moderated its demands.
