On Sunday, over 100,000 demonstrators participated in a march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. This turnout was described as unprecedented, with police labeling it the largest protest in recent memory. Remarkably, the participants marched in pouring rain, with some adorned with surfboards. The Palestine Action Group has organized weekly marches since early October 2023, but this was their first at the iconic bridge. Ali, a participant with his family, conveyed the moment's significance, representing the emotional and historical weight of the protest.
One man even carried a surfboard amidst the rain, showcasing the determination of at least 100,000 people who marched across Sydney Harbour Bridge calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Described by police as the largest protest in memory, the massive column of protesters snaked across the entire 1.2km length of the bridge, demonstrating the scale of the movement.
Ali, marching with his family, reflected on the significance of the moment, saying, 'This is a big moment,' underscoring the emotional weight of their participation.
As police ordered a halt to the march due to safety concerns, protesters received messages instructing them to stop walking north and return to central business areas.
