In pictures: Massive turnout for pro-Palestine rally in Washington

Tens of thousands of protestors filled the streets of Washington on Saturday in support of Palestine and against Israel's attacks on Gaza, which experts say is tantamount to genocide. Many travelled from other US states to attend the national march.

They demanded a ceasefire, threatening to withhold their votes for US President Joe Biden in 2024 if he does not act.

Demonstrators flocked to the Freedom Plaza during the day and marched to the White House in the afternoon chanting 'ceasefire now,' 'free Palestine,' and 'lift the siege on Gaza now!' They also demanded an end to US military funding to Israel - Congress recently approved a $14.3bn aid package to Israel.

The mobilisation was organised by the Palestinian Youth Movement, ANSWER Coalition, American Muslim Alliance, The People's Forum, National Students for Justice in Palestine, Al-Awda: The Palestine Right to Return Coalition, US Palestinian Community Network (USCPN), US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), and Maryland2Palestine; it was endorsed by more than 400 organisations.

Here are some photos from Saturday's demonstration:
