PEACE campaigners across Britain joined demonstrations across the world to demand a ceasefire in Gaza as the Palestinian Red Crescent Society evacuated 31 premature babies from the “death zone” al-Shifa hospital today.

Actions were held by peace campaigners in major cities across the world on Saturday, including Paris, Santiago in Chile and across the United States.

Protesters blocked the Golden Gate Bridge in California with their cars and threw their car keys into the bay so that authorities could not move the vehicles.
