IN PICTURES: Derry city centre street turns red for Gaza

Protesters gathered on Saturday to walk from Bishop’s Gate to Shipquay Street, where they unfurled a giant red line of fabric in protest over the genocide being committed in Gaza.

Those gathered wore red at the event, which was organised by Derry Ireland Palestine Solidarity Coalition, to send a message of solidarity to the people of Gaza, and to amplify that ‘starving children is a war crime; bombing children is a war crime, targeting healthcare workers is a war crime’.
