Protesters block London’s Oxford Street calling for a free Palestine

Thousands of protesters blocked London’s Oxford Street on Saturday to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and a free Palestine.

This marks the fourth consecutive week that London was the venue for a large rally in support of Palestinians since the beginning of the attacks.

Protesters waved the Palestinian flag and raised placards calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Some of the protesters held a bundle of fabric representing a dead baby killed during the Israeli bombing campaign.

Sama Dababneh, 26, a Jordanian business consultant who came to the rally with her Palestinian friends, said they were tired of the stream of upsetting images coming from Gaza.

“We came here to support the ceasefire,” she said.

“We spend the whole week consuming the news and this is very draining, so this is our only form of outlet.”

London’s Metropolitan Police said that around 30,000 attended the rally in central London on Saturday.

Protestors are set to march in Britain’s capital on Saturday November 11, Armistice Day, to demand an immediate ceasefire.

Dababneh said she would be one of those protesting on Armistice Day.

“What is happening in Palestine shows that we didn’t learn anything from what happened before.” she added

Pro-Palestinian protests took place in various British cities including Sheffield, Manchester, and Glasgow.
