Thousands rally in Sydney for Gaza peace and aid

Tens of thousands marched across Sydney’s Harbor Bridge on Sunday, calling for peace and urgent aid to Gaza. Despite heavy rain, crowds carried pots, pans, and Palestinian flags in a protest dubbed the “March for Humanity”, Reuters reported.

Organizers estimate up to 300,000 attended, while police reported 90,000. A court cleared the march after officials tried to block it over safety concerns.

The protest highlighted growing concern over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, with over 60,000 reported dead and widespread hunger.

Australia’s Prime Minister supports a two-state solution but hasn’t recognized Palestine. According to Reuters, protesters urged stronger action, saying basic human rights in Gaza are being denied.
