Waving flags and banners, thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters march through the streets of Madrid to demand an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.
Cries of “Freedom for Palestine” ring out as the crowd snakes through the closed-off streets of the Spanish capital.
Around 35,000 people take part, according to the central government’s delegation to Madrid, making it one of the biggest rallies in Spain in support of Palestinians since the shock murderous assault by Hamas triggered war with Israel earlier this month.
