People gathered in Bradford city centre in a show of solidarity with Palestine on International Women’s Day.

People stood together in unity with the women of Palestine - past, present and future. 

Flowers were laid and words were shared in speeches. 

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

People made handmade signs saying 'Free Palestine' while another mast read: “Gaza is not alone”.

One young boy held a cardboard placard, featuring stickers for the children of Gaza and an eye crying tears of blood, and called for a ceasefire.

The event took place in Centenary Square from 4pm on Friday, March 8, also International Women’s Day.

In recent figures, the overall Palestinian death toll from the nearly five-month war rose to more than 30,631, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

It does not differentiate between civilians and combatants in its figures, but says women and children make up around two-thirds of the total casualties.

It says over 72,000 people have been wounded.
