UK pro-peace demonstrators have taken part in fresh protest rallies across the country, demanding an end to Israeli atrocities in the Gaza Strip.
The pro-Palestine protests continue as the Stop the War Coalition titled Saturday as the “Day of Action.”
The Stop the War Coalition organizers listed 57 separate pro-Palestinian events across the UK on Saturday, including assemblies and candlelit vigils.
Protesters in north London gathered in Camden Town, calling for an end to the Israeli regime forces deadly attacks on Gaza.
The weekly demonstrations in the UK are held amid growing concern in the international community about the Israeli regime’s brutal genocidal war on Gaza.
Since the occupying regime unleashed its genocidal war against the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, the international community, except the US, has unanimously called for an end to hostilities against civilians.
Till now, some 19,000 Gazans, mostly women and children, have been killed by the Israeli war machine.
Since the launch of the Israeli genocide on October 7, the occupation forces’ relentless bombings have leveled residential areas across the Gaza Strip, razing towns and villages while flattening much of northern Gaza.
Gaza’s population of 2.3 million has been mostly driven from their homes, fleeing to the south to seek refuge.
The ongoing bombings amid the huge population shift, squeezing large groups of refugees into scarce shelters with limited facilities and resources, has plunged the besieged Gaza Strip into a “grim” humanitarian situation.
In this regard, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) said it is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain life in Gaza due to the enclave’s complete siege amid continued bombings.
“Staff on the ground say that every day that passes makes it more and more difficult to sustain human life in Gaza, that’s because of the systematic denial of food, water, medicine, and fuel to the civilian population in Gaza,” the CEO of MAP, Melanie Ward, warned.
She said Israeli regime forces’ indiscriminate bombings will soon result in the killing of 10,000 children, adding, “The situation couldn’t be more grim.”
