More than half a million march in London to demand lasting peace in Gaza

Hundreds of thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators marched in London to call for a lasting peace in Gaza, a day after a US-brokered ceasefire took effect. Organizers, who estimated the crowd at over 600,000, criticized a US peace plan for failing to address the root causes of the violence. The protest occurred after a truce was established following an Israeli military campaign that killed over 67,000 Palestinians since October 2023. Despite the ceasefire agreement, which includes troop withdrawals and prisoner exchanges, Israeli forces reportedly continued to kill Palestinians and shell areas across the Gaza Strip.
