Thousands attend Gaza protest march in city

Advertisements

Several thousand people are taking part in a Palestine solidarity protest in Belfast demanding sanctions against Israel.

The demonstration has been organised by the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign as part of a series of protests in towns and cities on both sides of the Irish border.

In Dublin, protesters are marching from the US embassy to the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Other protests are being staged in Londonderry, Galway, Cork, Limerick, Navan, Carlow, and Waterford.

Demonstrators at the Belfast protest walked through the city to the BBC NI headquarters to express dissatisfaction at BBC coverage of events in Gaza.

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led 7 October attack in 2023, in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 more were taken hostage.

At least 64,300 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the territory’s health ministry.

The ministry also said 376 people have died during the war so far as a result of malnutrition and starvation.
