In defiance of heavy rain and official resistance, tens of thousands marched across Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge on Sunday, calling for peace and urgent humanitarian aid for Gaza.
The protest, dubbed the 'March for Humanity,' drew crowds ranging from elderly citizens to families with children. Some demonstrators banged pots and pans to symbolize Gaza’s hunger crisis, while many carried Palestinian flags and chanted slogans of solidarity.
Despite efforts by New South Wales authorities to block the march, the Supreme Court allowed it to proceed, citing public interest.
More than 1,000 police were deployed, though no injuries were reported. A similar protest also took place in Melbourne.
“We all have the right to medical care, but in Gaza hospitals are being bombed,” said 80-year-old marcher Therese Curtis. “I’m marching for that basic human right.”
