Multiple groups of pro-Palestinian protesters have disrupted traffic in Cleveland and Richmond as they call for a cease-fire in the Israel/Hamas war. The protests caused issues for passengers and led to the closure of the airport entrances in Cleveland. The protesters claim that the people in Gaza are suffering and starving.
In recent days, multiple groups of pro-Palestinian protesters have blocked traffic as they call for a cease-fire in the Israel / Hamas war. In Cleveland on Saturday, a caravan disrupted traffic in the city's downtown. It also blocked traffic near the city's international airport, causing issues for passengers trying to reach the terminal. The airport reopened after shutting down all entrances for security reasons due to the large number of cars participating in the protest Saturday afternoon.
Cleveland Police said no arrests were made, and no cars were towed. They received two apparent reports of damage. "People are not eating, there is no food, there is no water," one protester told Scripps News Cleveland."They're not letting anything in. The people in Gaza are suffering and they are starving."
