Tens of thousands of people took to the streets across the UK on Saturday in a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
Rishi Sunak has promised to "always" stand with Israel, one week on from the attack by Hamas, as concerns grow about the fate of civilians in Gaza ahead of an imminent offensive.
Chants of "Rishi Sunak, shame on you" and "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" rang out among the crowd as the gathering made its way through the capital to Downing Street. The Prime Minister, in his statement on Saturday, offered a direct message to Israel and the UK's Jewish community - both left reeling following the assault by Palestinian militants.
Twelve aid agencies, including Oxfam, Action Against Hunger and Action Aid, also called on Mr Sunak and Foreign Secretary James Cleverly to use the UK's influence to help "prevent further suffering".
