Midnight protests for Palestine vow to keep up fight for ceasefire
Palestine supporters see in the new year in Sheffield
PALESTINE supporters marked the arrival of the new year by staging midnight protests demanding a ceasefire as Israeli bombs continued to rain down on the people of Gaza.
Activists in Manchester, Sheffield and Aberdeen were among those marking the arrival of 2024 with political action instead of traditional festivities.
Their protests followed nationwide demonstrations and rallies on Saturday when thousands of determined campaigners showed there would be no let-up in support for Palestine over the holiday weekend.
