Thousands of Nigerians on Monday hit the streets of Lagos to protest the ongoing Israeli onslaught against the Gaza Strip that claimed the lives of 365 Palestinians and wounded around 1750 others.

Students also took part in the march that denounced international and Arab silence towards that pogrom, adding that next Friday would be a day for solidarity with besieged Gaza all over Nigeria.

In Aden, southern Yemen, angry demonstrators on Tuesday broke into the Egyptian consulate and hoisted the Palestinian flag over it.

Local sources said that Yemeni security men could not control the demonstrators, who were in thousands, despite using teargas.

The demonstrators, who were infuriated with the Egyptian official positions regarding the events in Gaza, called for opening the Rafah crossing to allow access of humanitarian and relief material into the beleaguered Strip.

Yemeni security later managed to control the situation and rounded up ten students.

Similar protest marches were reported in various Arab and world countries for the third consecutive day against the Israeli savage bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
