Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched in different countries on Saturday pressing for a ceasefire after Israel’s military widened its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip.

In central London, protesters took to the streets demanding an immediate ceasefire. This marked the third consecutive weekend that the British capital witnessed a significant rally in support of Palestinians.

Simultaneously, a large group gathered in the New Zealand capital, Wellington, to show their support for the Palestinian people. They marched to Parliament House while carrying placards with messages like “free Palestine” and displaying Palestinian flags.

Here, we take a look at the protests that transpired in different countries today:
