The parents say they will peacefully protest every Friday with children until a ceasefire is called.
A group of parents has organised a protest "for children of Gaza" that it says will be held every Friday until a ceasefire is called in the Israel-Gaza conflict.The first protest took place on earlier outside Bristol City Council.
One of the parents, Noman Sheikh, said: "I've come here to show solidarity to the people of Palestine."Israel launched an aerial campaign campaign and ground offensive in Gaza after Hamas, which runs the Palestinian enclave and which is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK, carried out an attack in southern Israel on 7 October, killing more than 1,400 people.
The Israeli military says that more than 200 people who were also abducted are still being held hostage in Gaza. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 9,000 people have been killed there since Israel launched its military response.Parents say they want "school-age children to come together and peacefully protest for children of Gaza"
A pupil also added: "I think we should do a ceasefire and the UK should do something about what is happening."
