The Metropolitan police estimated that around 100,000 participants had joined the rally by 2 pm. They marched through central London, reaching Whitehall by 3 pm, and most of the crowd had dispersed by 5 pm. Ten arrests were made during the event, primarily related to offenses involving fireworks, public order, and assaulting an emergency service worker.
The gathering coincided with the opening of the Rafah border crossing, allowing limited humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. However, more aid is still needed for Gaza’s population, which has been facing severe hardship.
