THOUSANDS of Palestine activists demonstrated outside the BBC headquarters in Salford on Saturday, condemning the organisation’s coverage of Israel’s war crimes in Gaza and demanding an immediate ceasefire.

More than 100 children led the protest in an action organised by charity Creative Kindness. They left toys, clothes, and shoes to symbolise what remains in Gaza’s rubble, highlighting the under-reported deaths of 12,000 Palestinian children, and brought kites with messages of solidarity to those who have survived so far. 

Palestinians from Gaza also attended, displaying photos of their family members killed by Israeli attacks, recounting how they lost loved ones in bombings in 2014 and 2009.
