The National Museum in Cardiff had to shut its front doors due to a pro-Palestinian protest. Over a thousand protesters, waving Palestinian flags and carrying supportive placards, marched towards the Welsh Parliament.

This protest was part of a series of demonstrations across the UK, including a significant one in London with "up to 100,000" participants.

The Cardiff protest was organized by groups calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and full humanitarian aid to the region.

The protests have been a response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with participants expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza and raising concerns about the humanitarian situation there​​.
