People protest in support of Palestinians in Gaza during a protest rally in Istanbul, Turkey, Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024, amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

HUNDREDS of thousands took to the streets in a global day of action to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as the death toll mounted in the enclave due to the relentless Israeli assault on the Palestinians.

But the United States vowed to block the latest attempt this week to win agreement for a ceasefire in Gaza at the United Nations security council.

It is estimated that rallies were held in over 100 cities in 45 countries around the world.
