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.

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.
