US Edition20,000 protesters march through Auckland demanding Gaza ceasefire
- On Saturday, around 20,000 people marched in Auckland demanding an immediate ceasefire and sanctions on Israel amid the Gaza conflict.
- The march was held in response to rising violence after Israel launched a military operation following an attack by Hamas militants that resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths in October 2023.
- Demonstrators marched waving Palestinian flags alongside signs bearing messages such as "Don't normalise genocide," while counter-protesters voiced opposing chants, and a group connected to Destiny Church performed a haka.
- Organizers including spokespeople Nadine Mortaja and Arama Rata called for an unconditional ceasefire, lifting Gaza's blockade, and diplomatic pressure on Israel, with Mortaja saying the protest was "historic" and the largest in New Zealand's history.
- Authorities confirmed the event passed peacefully despite the presence of counter-demonstrators, underscoring increasing public frustration and representing a key moment in New Zealand’s solidarity efforts for Palestine.
