Thousands take to Melbourne streets to demand permanent ceasefire in Gaza
Thousands of pro-Palestine protesters took to the streets of Melbourne in weekly anti-war protests on Sunday to demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the Australian government's support of Israeli policy.
Protesters gathered in front of the state library and marched to a Zara store.
Footage shows protesters marching, holding Palestinian flags and placards reading: 'To stand with Palestine is to stand with Humanity,' 'Stop raining bombs on Gaza,' and 'They tried to bury us but they didn't know we were seeds'.
Protesters also demanded their government to call for a permanent ceasefire in the strip, chanting 'Ceasefire now!', 'Free, free, Palestine!' and 'Israel, USA, how many kids did you kill today?'
"We don't stand with what is going on and we really just want to save these lives, help and just a ceasefire to be called," said one of the protesters.
Protesters also called for a boycott of ZARA stores after the brand's recent controversial fashion collection that contained pictures resembling images from the Israel-Hamas war. Zara has pulled the promotional campaign after the worldwide protests.
