Massive demos for Palestinian rights in central London

​

These photos were taken in the early weeks of Israel's devastating war on Gaza that started on October 7, after Hamas militants broke through the Gaza border fence and massacred over 1200 people. At this point, the Palestinian death toll was rising rapidly, reaching around 10,000 after a month of war - now, nearly eight months in, it has soared above 36,000, with most of the strip turned to rubble. The war has provoked worldwide outrage, with the International Court of Justice ordering a ceasefire as part of an ongoing investigation into whether Israel has committed genocide.
