Federal Employees to Fast in Protest of Biden's Israel-Hamas War Policy

The action, organized by Feds United for Peace, aims to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza amid criticism of the administration's response.

Federal employees from several agencies plan a 'Day of Fasting' for Gaza to protest the Biden administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
The protest, organized by Feds United for Peace, aims to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where over 26,000 people have died and more than 64,000 have been injured.
The 'Day of Fasting' follows a 'Day of Mourning' held on January 16, in which employees took leave from work to mourn the loss of lives.
Several countries, including the U.S., have suspended funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the main body providing relief to Palestinian refugees, following allegations of staff involvement in an attack on Israel.
The U.S. has promised to provide $121 million in total humanitarian aid to Gaza and the West Bank, and has already delivered significant amounts of food and medical supplies.
