HUNDREDS of thousands of people mobilised across Britain on Saturday to demand a ceasefire in Gaza.

The day also marked the 48th anniversary of a Palestinian uprising against Israel’s mass theft of Palestinian land in Galilee. 

An estimated 200,000 marched in London, 1,500 protesters took to the streets in Leeds; in Manchester a “land march” commemorated the 1976 uprising.
