Since the Gaza War in 2014, Israel and Palestine have had the worst violent conflict. Protesters have marched all over the world to support the Palestinians.

At least 140 Palestinians, including 39 children, were killed after Israel’s airstrike on Gaza earlier this week.

On Saturday, Israel targeted a refugee camp in Gaza, where at least 10 Palestinians were killed.

Protests were held in major cities around the world, including Doha, London, Paris and Madrid.
