Pro-palestine prayer protest outside Saudi Arabian Embassy
A group of pro-palestinian supporters gathered outside the Saudi Arabian Embassy, London Friday March 15.
The crowd was there to pray and protest against support they say Saudi Arabia gives Israel.
Police monitored the protest but organisers made sure the presence aimed at the Embassy alone.
ynuk.tv was there.
In the meantime, the first ship towing a barge of humanitarian aid to Gaza unloaded supplies on to the shore.
The Spanish ship Open Arms left Cyprus on Tuesday with 200 tonnes of food desperately needed for Gaza. The UN says the nation’s on the brink of famine.
It marks the start of a trial to see if sea deliveries are effective. This after air and land deliveries proved difficult.
World Central Kitchen (WCK), which supplied the food, carried out the mission in co-operation with the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The aim to deliver the barge’s cargo of rice, flour, legumes, canned vegetables and canned proteins.
There’s no functioning port in Gaza, so a jetty stemming from the shoreline was built by WCK’s team. How the food will be distributed in Gaza remains unclear.
In a statement, Israel said the Open Arms vessel and its cargo inspected in Cyprus. Also Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops deployed to secure the shoreline.
Negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza are ongoing. On Friday, Israel dismissed the Hamas’s latest proposal.
