Thousands step forward for Palestinians across Europe as Israel intensifies assault against Hamas

Thousands of demonstrators rallied in different cities in Europe on October 28 to show support for the Palestinians as Israel’s military widened its air and ground offensive on the Gaza Strip. In one of the biggest marches, in London, aerial footage showed large crowds marching through the centre of the capital to demand the government of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak call for a ceasefire. The demonstration was organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, with supporters waving Palestinian flags and some even carrying effigies of dead babies throughout the protest which was due to end outside the Houses of Parliament after passing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Downing Street office.
