Many people in London are holding a large protest to condemn the killing of Gaza
People in the British capital of London took part in a protest to mark 100 days since the start of the Zionist Israeli regime's aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip in Palestine.
More than 200,000 Pro-Palestinian protesters have started marching through London for the first major demonstration of 2024, Daily Mail reported.
Activists waving Palestine flags, chanting ‘Free Free Palestine’ and lighting flares converged on Queen Victoria Street for a planned march towards Parliament Square as they continue to call for a ceasefire in war-torn Gaza.
Some activists wearing masks of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were seen holding bloodied dolls up in the air in a bid to highlight the innocent lives being lost in the Gaza war.
Jeanine Hourani, a member of the Palestine Youth Movement attending today’s London march, said that protesters are angry over the injustice in Gaza and determined to keep marching for Palestinian rights.
“The sentiment is one of rage and frustration” she told Al Jazeera. “We have been taking to the streets every week since October 7.”
Hourani said that while the British public largely supports a ceasefire in Gaza, “the UK’s politicians have continued to fund and support the genocide.”
“Ultimately, we know that in the grand scheme of things – in the long arc of justice – we are winning,” she said. “We are going to continue taking to the streets, continue applying pressure, until Palestine is free.”
