For nearly 12 hours, the demonstrators had occupied the road that led to the Victorian International Container Terminal (abbreviated the VICT), preventing trucks, some loaded with ZIM containers, from any access to the port.
ZIM is Israel’s greatest shipping firm. In the previous month, it reaffirmed its dedication and commitment to catering to the national needs of the nation, offering the Netanyahu regime its ships as well as infrastructure for the nation’s onslaught against Gaza.
Those who had been participating in the protest included the Palestinian community members, as well as students, young individuals, and activists.
The protesters affiliated with the Trade Unionists for Palestine organization blocked heavy traffic at the Victorian International Container Terminal by laying on the road draped in the Palestinian flag.
Over two hundred demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and held posters promoting Free Palestine while "keep the children safe" chants and drum beats reverberated throughout the shipyard.
The oldest and biggest shipping corporation in "Israel", ZIM, is being accused by demonstrators of having a long history of aiding war crimes and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people.
The number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip has risen to 10,569 Palestinians, including 4,324 children and 2,823 women, the Ministry of Health in Gaza stated.
Israeli strikes have injured 26,475 people since the beginning of the aggression on October 7.
