Thousands of pro-Palestine supporters have staged a fresh rally in the British capital to demand an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Stripو following deadly airstrikes by the Zionist regime on the city of Rafah, located in southern part of the besieged Palestinian territory.
According to IRNA correspondent in London, the protesters gathered in front of the British Prime Minister's office and chanted slogans against Rishi Sunak and the leader of the opposition party over their stance on the Gaza war.
While chanting slogans such as "Shame on Rishi Sunak" and "Shame on Keir Starmer", the protesters demanded that the war on the oppressed and defenseless Palestinians must be stopped before it is too late.
The participants in the demonstration also emphasized that their position is different from that of the London government and they hold the Zionist regime and its supporters responsible for the crimes and massacres being committed in Gaza.
London and other British cities have witnessed dozens of such rallies in solidarity with the Palestinians and in denunciation of the Zionist regime’s brutalities in Gaza.
The latest protest followed the reports that Israeli warplanes have again targeted residential houses in the vicinity of the headquarters of the Palestinian Red Crescent in Rafah that along with the city of Khan Yunis has become a focal point of the regime\s bombing and shelling campaign in recent days.
So far, more than one hundred Palestinians have been confirmed dead over 230 others injured in the latest attack, with reports suggesting that the number of martyrs and wounded is increasing.
The Zionist regime keeps pressing ahead with its genocide in Gaza with the support of the West, the United States in particular, under the pretext of a surprise operation dubbed Al-Aqsa Storm that was launched by Palestinian resistance forces in response to the regime’s decades-long brutalities across Occupied Palestine.
More than 28,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in over four months of Israeli onslaught on Gaza.
The attack on Rafah came amid Israeli plan for a possible ground invasion of the city that houses some 1.4 million Palestinians, including those displaced in Israeli strikes on other parts of Gaza.
