Hundreds of people gather in the South African town of Cape Town for a pro-Palestinian march, amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Chanting slogans and carrying flags, banners and signs, the crowd moved through the streets. The war started after Hamas's October 7 attack on southern Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 34,535 people in Gaza, mostly women and children according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry. IMAGES
