As of Saturday December 16, according to several reports, more than 19,000 Palestinians have died since October 6 in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as result of Israeli retaliatory attacks against Hamas. That’s roughly the population of Rifle, Silt, and New Castle, Colorado combined. More than 54,000 Palestinians have been wounded. On Sunday, between 30 and 40 Roaring Fork Valley residents, organized by “Ceasefire Now RFV”, marched along Highway 133, calling for a stop to the war. KDNK’s Amy Hadden Marsh was there and produced this audio postcard.
