PARIS: Third consecutive evening demonstration against the war in Gaza
On Tuesday evening, the crowd of around 4,500 continued with an unannounced march through the streets north of the capital, with some demonstrators attempting to block the Northern Ring Road.
Many have taken to the streets to protest the Israeli army’s shelling in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, in recent days – including an attack on a tent camp for displaced people. Other meetings in Lille and Marseille were organized in France on Wednesday evening. The mayor of Marseille Benoît Payan (PS) has decided to turn off the lights in the town hall from 10 p.m.
