Protesters gather outside the BBC's headquarters for a march through central London in support of Palestinians. The war in Gaza was triggered by Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7 that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,160 people in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. Israel's subsequent offensive on Gaza has killed at least 27,238 people, most of them women and under-18s, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry. IMAGES
Several thousand protesters march to the Israeli embassy in Athens in solidarity with the Palestinian people, with many protesters chanting "Free Palestine" whilst calling for immediate ceasefire in the deadly war between Israel and Hamas. Since Hamas militants stormed across the Israeli border on October 7, Israel has relentlessly bombarded the Gaza Strip and sent in ground troops, with the health ministry in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory saying 9,770 people have been killed, nearly half of them -- at least 4,800 -- children.

Pro-democracy protesters and police clash in Bangkok as anti-government rallies calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha intensify. Democracy activists have assembled daily in the capital since last week, flouting the emergency edict as their calls for Prayut to go get louder. The former army chief masterminded the 2014 coup and protesters say the military-drafted constitution rigged last year's vote in his favour. IMAGES
