London demonstration sees thousands march for Gaza and decry UK support for Israeli genocide

Middle East Eye journalist Ava Warriner attended the London protest against the Israeli genocide in Gaza on Saturday and spoke with several participants about their motivations for joining the march and their demands of the UK government.

Many protesters described their presence as a rejection of British complicity in the violence, arguing that protest remains the only avenue left for dissent. Among the crowd were supporters of hunger‑striking activists currently detained without trial, denied family contact or medical care, now demanding bail and fair hearings.

The turnout reflected a profound sense of anger and urgency among demonstrators who warned that a declared ceasefire has not ended Gaza’s suffering and pledged to continue pushing for accountability and justice.
