A child cries while carrying his younger sister on his shoulders, walking along the long displacement route from northern Gaza to the south... a scene that captures the suffering of innocent children under the horrors of war.

Drone footage has captured the moment Australian demonstrators flooded Sydney’s central districts and spanned the Harbour Bridge in a massive protest against Israel’s brutal war in Gaza. The historic turnout, organised under the “March for Humanity” banner, was initially denied permission by the New South Wales premier and police authorities, but a court order gave last-minute approval. Despite short notice and adverse weather conditions, the rally brought together an estimated 300,000 people. Demonstrators chanted “Free Palestine” and waved flags and placards calling for a ceasefire, an end to the blockade of Gaza, and for Australian authorities to sanction Israel. Organisers said the massive turnout reflected growing global outrage over the rising civilian death toll in Gaza and the international community’s failure to prevent a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.
