Hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the streets across the world
to protest against Israel’s war in Gaza
<https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/1/13/israels-war-on-gaza-live-un-fears-mass-transfer-of-palestinians-from-gaza>,
as it nears the 100-day mark on Sunday.

People gathered at rallies in Malaysia, South Africa, the United Kingdom
and Indonesia on Saturday, as well as at other protests in Japan, Italy,
Greece and Pakistan.

The demonstrations are part of a “global day of action for Palestine” and
to call for an end to the bloodshed that has killed 23,843 people and
wounded more than 60,317, according to Palestinian health officials.

In Kuala Lumpur, people gathered outside the United States embassy to send
a message to Israel’s staunch ally, that has vetoed several United Nations
resolutions calling for a ceasefire.

“We’ve spoken to people here who say they’ve come to show solidarity with
Palestinians. People are holding up placards that read: ‘Stop the
genocide’, as well as ‘Bombing children is not self-defence’,” said Al
Jazeera’s Florence Looi, reporting from Kuala Lumpur.

Thousands of people also gathered outside the US embassy in Jakarta, waving
Indonesian and Palestinian flags and holding signs that read “Boycott
Israel” and “Ceasefire Now”.

In Johannesburg, demonstrators gathered outside the US consulate for a
protest bolstered by South Africa’s case

of genocide against Israel at the International Court of Justice this week.

Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller said many in the crowd accused the US, which
has supplied Israel with thousands of tonnes of military equipment since
the war started, of “complicity in the bombardment of the Palestinian
people”.

Thousands of people gathered in central London. Jeanine Hourani, a member
of the Palestine Youth Movement attending the march, said protesters are
angry over the injustice in Gaza.

“We have been taking to the streets every week since October 7,” she told
Al Jazeera, saying the British public largely supports a ceasefire but UK
politicians “have continued to fund and support the genocide”.

“We are going to continue taking to the streets, continue applying
pressure, until Palestine is free,” she said.

Later on Saturday, more rallies are expected to in Washington, DC and other
American cities.
