LONDON, United Kingdom -- Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters marched in Britain Saturday calling for a ceasefire as Israel's army intensified its assault on the Gaza Strip. Thousands more demonstrated in France and Switzerland.
TOPSHOT - A protester waves Palestinian flags sitting on a red telephone box on Whitehall during the 'March For Palestine' in London on October 28, 2023, to call for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza said Israeli strikes had since killed 7,703 people, mainly civilians, with more than 3,500 of them children.One marcher, Dani Nadiri, 36, said UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's call for a"humanitarian pause" in the fighting to allow aid into Gaza and hostages to leave was not enough.
"It can't go on like this. The world is dying and I want lasting peace for everybody. That's the way it should be," said the 38-year-old teacher. Protesters joined one in Paris, defying a court ban issued on public order grounds. A large contingent of police blocked demonstrators in the centre of the capital." a ceasefire is urgent, to stop killing women, children and men," said Elsa Toure, the deputy mayor of Corbeil-Essonnes, south of Paris."It is not right that a ceasefire has not been called, that thousands of civilians are dying and no one is saying anything," she said.
