Hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the streets across the world to protest against Israel\u2019s war in Gaza, as it nears the 100-day mark on Sunday.<\/p>\n
People gathered at rallies in Malaysia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and Indonesia on Saturday, as well as at other protests in Thailand, Japan, Italy, Greece and Pakistan.<\/p>\n
The demonstrations are part of a \u201cglobal day of action for Palestine\u201d and to call for an end to the bloodshed that has killed 23,843 people and wounded more than 60,317, according to Palestinian health officials.<\/p>\n
In Kuala Lumpur, people gathered outside the United States embassy to send a message to Israel\u2019s staunch ally, that has vetoed several United Nations resolutions calling for a ceasefire.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve spoken to people here who say they\u2019ve come to show solidarity with Palestinians. People are holding up placards that read: \u2018Stop the genocide\u2019, as well as \u2018Bombing children is not self-defence\u2019,\u201d said Al Jazeera\u2019s Florence Looi, reporting from Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n
Thousands of people also gathered outside the US embassy in Jakarta, waving Indonesian and Palestinian flags and holding signs that read \u201cBoycott Israel\u201d and \u201cCeasefire Now\u201d.<\/p>\n
In Johannesburg, demonstrators gathered outside the US consulate for a protest bolstered by South Africa\u2019s case of genocide against Israel at the International Court of Justice this week.<\/p>\n
Al Jazeera\u2019s Fahmida Miller said many in the crowd accused the US, which has supplied Israel with thousands of tonnes of military equipment since the war started, of \u201ccomplicity in the bombardment of the Palestinian people\u201d.<\/p>\n
Thousands of people gathered in central London. Jeanine Hourani, a member of the Palestine Youth Movement attending the march, said protesters are angry over the injustice in Gaza.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been taking to the streets every week since October 7,\u201d she told Al Jazeera, saying the British public largely supports a ceasefire but UK politicians \u201chave continued to fund and support the genocide\u201d.<\/p>\n
