Crowds gather in London for pro-Palestine 'global day of action' protest

Crowds are beginning to gather in London ahead of an anticipated march on Saturday as part of global pro-Palestine protests.

The end of last year saw hundreds of thousands of people marching in London every Saturday, demanding the British government support a ceasefire in Gaza.

Since then, the UK government has said it has committed to a "sustainable ceasefire" and continued its support for the Israeli government.

Following Britain's decision to launch air strikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, marchers will now also call for the government to stop its bombardment of Yemen.

The protests in the British capital are part of a global "day of action" called for to mark the passing of 100 days of war on Sunday. 

More than 70 cities across 38 countries are set to take part in the global action.
