London: Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters rallied in London on Saturday, in the latest demonstration in the British capital demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and more aid for the war-ravaged territory.

The event, organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, began at Russell Square in the city centre before attendees marched to Trafalgar Square for a mid-afternoon rally.

London has seen numerous large-scale pro-Palestinian protests since Israel mounted its military onslaught against Gaza.

Sally Worgan, 65, a retired social worker, had travelled from Gloucestershire in western England to attend.

"I think it's important for the Palestinian people to know that people do support them, that they're not just on their own," she told AFP.
