Pro-Palestinian protesters halt Durham City Council meeting Monday

Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted the Durham City Council meeting Monday night.

Protesters began chanting, and singing, for council members to adopt a ceasefire resolution.

"The time is ticking to end genocide," protesters chanted.

Over 20,000 people, many of whom were women and children, have died in Gaza since Israel began its offensive.

In the months since the war began, protests and calls for ceasefire resolutions have sprung up across the Triangle.
