Palestine supporters stage demonstration at London Liverpool Street station

LONDON:Hundreds of Palestine supporters London Liverpool Street station staged a sit-in protest during rush hour.

The demonstrators filled the station, clapping, cheering and chanting while waving Palestinian flags and temporarily disrupted the evening commute.

The feminist collective Sisters Uncut , known for their activism on various social justice issues, said that "hundreds of commuters joined" the mass action, which they asserted had "shut down" the station.

The organizations added their voices to the calls for an end to international support for Israel's actions in Palestine and an immediate cease-fire.

The Israeli army has expanded its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless airstrikes since the Palestinian resistance group Hamas launched a surprise cross-border attack against Israel on Oct. 7.

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has climbed to 8,525, the Health Ministry in the blockaded enclave said Tuesday.

“The victims include 3,542 children and 2,187 women, while 21,543 other people were injured,” ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told a press conference in Gaza City.

More than 1,538 Israelis have been killed in the conflict.
