It's the third consecutive weekend that the British capital was the venue for a large rally in support of Palestinians since the attack by Hamas on Israel earlier this month.

Saturday's protest comes as Israel's army intensified its assault on the war-torn Gaza Strip.

Many demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and chanted slogans including-from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free- a slogan some Jewish organizations say calls for the destruction of Israel and is anti-Semitic.

Samar Fazil said, "we feel really strongly about what's going on in Palestine at the moment."

"The constant bombardment, the siege, 75 years of occupation of a land and a genocide of indigenous people. It's wrong, completely wrong. Our leaders aren't standing up so we have to stand up."
