In pictures: Hundreds call for a ceasefire outside BBC offices in London

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the BBC offices in central London on Saturday, calling for a ceasefire and denouncing Israel's bombing of Gaza.

Many of the protesters also criticised the BBC's coverage of the war, stating that it is not fairly covering Israeli aggressions in Gaza.

MEE producer Mohammad Saleh, who was at the protest, said that people were chanting "BBC you can't hide, we charge you with genocide!"

One young speaker criticised UK universities and their stance in relation to Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands, calling out western academia for its "whitewashing, co-opting and illegitimately redefining the struggles of the Palestinian people".
