Thousands marched through Sydney's CBD as part of a pro-Palestinian rally, as similar events are held across the country.
Australians have taken to the streets to show their support for an end to the Hamas-Israel war at pro-Palestinian rallies across the nation. Thousands marched through the Sydney CBD on Saturday after police green-lit the event, and many more were set to attend events in Perth, Hobart and Brisbane as more information emerges from conflict-stricken Gaza.
The prime minister has pledged $25 million to Jewish and Islamic communities affected by the conflict. While Ali welcomed the move, he said the government needed to immediately urge a ceasefire and take action to ensure humanitarian aid reaches civilians. "We're faced with a humanitarian crisis in Palestine — the scale of which we have never seen before," he said.
