Several thousand pro-Palestinian protesters marched through central London and Berlin on Saturday. They called for an end to Israeli strikes on Gaza, marking three years since Hamas's October 7 attack.

In London, marchers carried placards reading "End the genocide" and "Free Palestine" as they made their way near the British parliament. According to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign's director Aimee Shalan, the UK-led Western sanctions over settler violence did not go far enough, and she called for "full sanctions on Israel".

Since a ceasefire began a year ago, Israeli strikes have killed around 1,450 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza's health ministry. Protesters, including recent graduate Hibo Hassan, 23, expressed solidarity with those in Gaza, saying the situation was "extremely dystopian".
