Egypt: Mass pro-Palestine protest at al-Azhar mosque
13 October 2023 12:14 BST
Egyptians are taking part in a large-scale pro-Palestine protest in the al-Azhar mosque in Cairo, voicing their support for Palestinians in Gaza.
The protesters are chanting for a “free Palestine,” and are echoing sentiments shared by the Al Azhar institution earlier this week, calling on Palestinians to “die on your lands as knights, heroes and martyrs, rather than leave your land for colonisers.”
The protests come after Palestinians called for a global show of support today, as Israel ordered for the forced transfer of Palestinians in north Gaza to the south.
