Massive demos for Palestinian rights in central London

​

These photos were taken in the early weeks of Israel's devastating Gaza offensive that started on October 7, after Hamas militants massacred over 1200 people on Israeli territory. At this point, the Palestinian death toll was rising rapidly, reaching around 10,000 after a month of war - now, after nearly a year and a half, it has soared to nearly 50,000, not counting the bodies trapped under the rubble. Hellbent on destroying Hamas at any cost, Israel has been accused by UN experts and rights groups of genocide.
