Thousands of people gathered in Sydney on Sunday to show solidarity with Palestinians, demanding lasting peace and justice in Gaza. The large demonstration, organized by pro-Palestinian groups, filled the streets of the city’s central district with flags, banners, and chants calling for an end to violence.
Participants wore traditional keffiyehs and carried signs urging world leaders to act for Gaza’s freedom and humanitarian relief. The rally took place peacefully, with no major incidents reported by police.
Organizers said the march was not only a show of support for Palestinians but also a call for Australia to take a stronger stand on the humanitarian crisis. Speakers at the event highlighted the destruction in Gaza and urged the international community to hold those responsible for civilian casualties accountable.
The protest followed a recent ceasefire agreement in Gaza, but demonstrators insisted that peace must come with justice and the rebuilding of Palestinian lives. Many participants included families, students, and activists from across Sydney who voiced their demand for global solidarity.
Authorities maintained tight security around the march but confirmed that the event concluded without confrontation. The crowd eventually dispersed peacefully after speeches and a moment of silence for victims in Gaza.
The Sydney rally adds to a growing wave of global demonstrations calling for an end to the suffering in Palestine, with similar events held in London, New York, and other major cities.
