2WMCYE1 London, UK. 25 February, 2024. Jewish group Na'amod, joined by allies, hold a 'Rally for Rafah' in London's Soho Square. An estimated 1.5 million Gazan's have sought refuge in Rafah from Israeli bombardment elsewhere in the besieged territory and the Israeli government is now threatening a ground offensive there. The rally condemned the killing and called for ceasefire in Gaza, a deal for the release of hostages and an end to the siege of Gaza. Credit: Ron Fassbender/Alamy Live News
