Thousands in London Voice Support for Palestine amid Israeli Aggression
Protesters held signs that read “Freedom for Palestine” and “Stop bombing Gaza”.
The Metropolitan police estimated that about 100,000 people had turned out by 2 p.m. Saturday. The frontmost marchers moved along Park Lane, via Hyde Park Corner, Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square to reach Whitehall and, by 3 p.m., protesters had reached Parliament Square. By 5 p.m., much of the crowd had dispersed.
Demonstrations have been taking place around the world to call for fighting to stop and for aid to be allowed into Gaza.
The Israeli regime launched the war on Gaza on October 7 and blocked water, food, and electricity to one of the most densely populated places in the world.
The airstrikes have so far killed more than 7,700 people in the strip, the Gaza health ministry said Saturday. Virtually 21,400 people have also been wounded since the bombing began three weeks ago.
