In the capital of the United Kingdom, London, a large demonstration took place to draw attention to the severe humanitarian situation in Gaza. According to Anadolu agency, pro-Palestinian demonstrators protested against Israel’s blockade and military operations in the Gaza Strip. They sought to draw the attention of the international community to the suffering of civilians facing hunger and deprivation.
Thousands of protesters gathered in front of the Israeli embassy in central London. Holding pots and pans in their hands, participants banged on them with spoons and metal objects, symbolically highlighting the dire conditions in Gaza. Through this act, they emphasized that because of Israel’s pressure and restrictions, Palestinian civilians are dying of hunger.
Protesters carried various banners with slogans such as “Freedom for Palestine,” “Justice for Gaza,” and “Hunger is not a weapon.” In doing so, they expressed their stance not only against the humanitarian crisis but also against Israel’s control and occupation policies over Gaza.
Organizers noted that this demonstration showed that the British public is not indifferent to the events in Gaza. According to them, if the international community does not take serious measures, the consequences of hunger and deprivation may become even worse.
The protest proceeded peacefully, with police maintaining order. However, the crowd emphasized that the tragedy in Gaza and its consequences are a serious signal for the entire world.
