"I feel passionately because every time I looked at my sleeping child, I saw a dead child in Gaza," said a protester who was marching with his children on Saturday at a pro-Palestine rally in London.

Tens of thousands joined the demonstration, just a day after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect in Gaza.

Many were aware of the latest developments but chose to take part to show their support.

"Two years is just a reaction of all the things that have built up to it," another protester noted.
