Waving Palestinian and Canadian flags, thousands of people lined Wonderland Road in North London, Ont. in what was billed as a ‘human chain.’
It was a silent vigil and show of support for victims in Gaza.
“We are here to also mourn more than 2,000 people that have been killed so far in Gaza, with nowhere for the ones who are trapped to leave including Canadian citizens who are in Gaza right now and unable to evacuate,” says Nehal Altarhuni, rally organizer and member of the Canadian Palestinian Social Association and its allies.
In the sea of Palestinian supporters were many faith groups.
There were event a few representing Independent Jewish Voices London (IJVL).
“We want peace, we need the blockade to stop and we need a ceasefire,” says Sarah Rans, of IJVL.
