Global Protests Demand Israeli Ceasefire, Show Solidarity with Gaza

More than 100,000 pro-Palestine supporters marched in central London to demand Israel cease its bombing campaign and siege of Gaza, following the heaviest night of bombing yet. Protesters chanted slogans such as "Free Palestine" and "End the genocide" as they moved towards Westminster. The rally, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and other groups, aimed to put pressure on the UK government and Israel to halt the bombing. Last week's demonstration saw an estimated 100,000 participants, but protesters claimed the real figure was closer to 300,000. Communication with journalists in Gaza has been lost, making it difficult to report on the situation. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a ceasefire and a delivery of life-saving supplies, while a UN resolution for a humanitarian truce was passed with support from 120 members, but was opposed by Israel and the US.
