Pro-Palestine activists staged a demonstration in solidarity with people in the Gaza Strip, vowing to keep protesting until “the genocide ends and Palestine is free”, Anadolu Agency reports.

Gathering at the Victoria Embankment Gardens, a group of protesters decried Western governments’ “silence” in the face of ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza, where more than 37,500 Palestinians have been killed since Oct 7.

Speaking at the rally, Hala, a protester from Gaza, touched on the worsening situation in the enclave, where people are facing hunger and disease.

Criticizing the UK government’s stance, she noted that so far the government has not accepted any injured Palestinian for treatment.
