Half million people protest in London for Gaza ceasefire

Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters marched in central London on Saturday calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel's deadly war on the Gaza Strip.

It was the third consecutive weekend that the British capital had seen a large rally in support of Palestinians since war broke out on October 7.

Israel unleashed an indiscriminate bombing campaign in Gaza killing 8,005 people, including 3,342 children since 7 October, following an attack by Hamas into southern Israel that killed 1,538 people, mostly civilians.
