THOUSANDS of people have taken part in a rally in support of Palestine in Glasgow.
Those attending were urged to write their names on their hands as a gesture of solidarity with the besieged population of Gaza, who have used the method so they can be identified and buried with relatives if they are killed.
According to Palestinian health authorities, at least 11,470 Palestinians have been killed since the war began, while about 2,700 people have been reported missing.
Demonstrations have taken place each weekend since the conflict started, in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, and Shetland.
The Gaza Genocide Emergency Committee said Saturday’s demonstration intended “to show politicians we mean it when we say we want a ceasefire now”.
The demonstration started at 1pm and was organised by a variety of organisations including the Muslim Council of Scotland, the Muslim Association of Britain, Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Palestine Action Scotland.
A statement on social media said: “It’s time to speak up and demand a world that values human rights and respects the right to live in peace.”
