Thousands of Palestine supporters demand Gaza ceasefire at rally in Istanbul

Thousands of people were seen taking part in a pro-Palestine demonstration in Istanbul on Saturday night.

Footage shows the demonstrators marching with Turkish and Palestinian flags, banners, and signs, including 'long live the resistance' and ‘ceasefire now’.

 "We meet every week to support our Palestinian Muslim brothers and sisters. We want to do what we can. We call for a march and boycott," said one of the protesters.

According to local media reports, the march was organised by the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation and other non-governmental organisations. 

Israel unleashed a genocidal US-backed war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 after Hamas conducted a historic operation against the usurping regime in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

According to the Gaza Health ministry, at least 35,903 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed since Israeli genocide began. More than 80,000 others have also been injured.
