IN PICS: Cape Town march calls for an end to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza
Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched along Cape Town’s Sea Point promenade on Saturday, joined by British figures George Galloway and Yvonne Ridley.
Thousands of protestors gathered in Cape Town's Sea Point on Saturday to march in solidarity with Palestinians and demand an end to Israel's military campaign in Gaza. The demonstration was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and brought together supporters from across the city. British politician George Galloway and journalist Yvonne Ridley, who are on a "People Power Tour" across South Africa, joined the march along the Sea Point promenade.
The march highlighted the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where civilians continue to suffer from violence, displacement, and damage to homes and infrastructure. United Nations reports have emphasized shortages of medical supplies, shelter, and other essential goods, along with restrictions on humanitarian aid delivery. Galloway and Ridley addressed the crowd, conveying their support for Palestinians amid international scrutiny of the Gaza conflict and South Africa's legal challenge against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
