Hundreds of thousands of people marched in London in support of Palestine

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian supporters marched in London to protest Israel's genocide in Gaza, its occupation of the West Bank and Britain's support for Israel.

The march, organized with the call of non-governmental organizations such as the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition and the Nuclear Disarmament Campaign, started from the Victoria Embankment area in the center of the city.

Activists chanted slogans such as "Free Palestine", "From river to sea, Palestine will be free" and "Stop arming Israel" throughout the march.

At the end of the approximately 4 kilometer march, the activists reached the entrance of Downing Street, where the Prime Minister's Office Number 10 is located.

Addressing the activists from the stage set up here, Transport Workers Union General Secretary Maryam Eslamdoust said, "Even the bodies recovered from the rubble removed after 3 years in Gaza could not be buried with human dignity." he said.

Noting that all Palestinian solidarity actions around the world symbolize the moral stance of a generation, Eslamdoust said, "While the government protects the arms companies, universities and the public are boycotting. We are being blocked while seeking justice for Gaza. The only way to stop the genocide is to change the world that caused it." he said.

Gazan journalist and Gaza Families Platform President Hala Hanina also said that she left the region a few days after getting married in Gaza, and then Israel's attacks on Gaza began.

Stating that she kept the lace gift given to her at her wedding and the photos taken that day, Hanina said, "When we look at the photos, everyone is happy, but now they are just in the photos. When the genocide started, Israel created famine conditions in the north of Gaza, where we live. A child from our family was killed when he went to get the flour distributed as aid." he said.

Stating that the lace gifted to her is a part of Gaza culture, Hanina said, "We cannot allow Israel to erase us. They kill people, but they cannot kill our culture. They have not been able to destroy us since 1948, and they will not be able to do so again." he said.

On the other hand, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign announced that more than 250 thousand people participated in the march.
