Thousands of protesters took to the streets in several major cities around the world on Saturday to demand an end to bloodshed in Gaza, as the conflict in the Palestinian enclave approaches its first anniversary and spreads in the wider region.
About 40,000 anti-Israel demonstrators marched through central London while thousands also gathered in Paris, Rome, Manila and Cape Town.
The war was triggered when Palestinian terrorist group Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023 in a raid that killed 1,200 people and in which about 250 were taken as hostages.
Israel's subsequent assault on Gaza has killed nearly 42,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, and displaced nearly all of the enclave's population of 2.3 million.
