Thousands attended a pro-Palestinian rally in Glasgow, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Demonstrations have been occurring across Scotland since the Middle East hostilities began.

The Scottish government plans to debate the issue in Holyrood after MPs in Westminster voted against a ceasefire. First Minister Humza Yousaf criticized those MPs.

The rally was organized by the Gaza Genocide Emergency Committee and drew around 18,000 people.

Participants wrote their names on their arms to show solidarity with Gaza's besieged population. Similar protests took place in other UK cities.
