Healthcare workers, journalists hold vigil in London for colleagues killed in Gaza

Health workers and journalists held a vigil in front of 10 Downing Street to pay tribute to colleagues killed by Israel in Gaza and demanded an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing conflict, Anadolu Agency reports.

Adel-Mannan, a health worker who had previously worked in Gaza, delivered a stirring message to the “silent majority,” urging them to “break their silence and take action in response to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.”

Palestinian journalist, Lemis Andoni held the British government accountable for the ongoing violence.

“We hold Mr. Rishi Sunak personally and the government of Britain to be responsible for the killing of everybody. We find them as guilty as Israel. They’re all guilty of these murders, murders of the children,” she said.

“There is no commitment to journalism without commitment to justice,” she said and criticized the distortion of facts and commended those in the Western media challenging the official narrative.
