STORYLINE:
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Athens on Thursday to protest against the war in Gaza.
People held placards, waved flags and chanted slogans as they called for an end to the conflict and more aid to be allowed into the enclave.
The demonstration was organised by trade unions affiliated with the country’s communist party.
Protesters dispersed peacefully at the end of the rally.
The protest comes U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Israel on Thursday to discuss the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, as the death toll of Palestinians waiting for food and other aid continued to climb.
Witkoff and U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee will inspect food distribution in Gaza on Friday, the White House said.
The war started when Hamas attacked southern Israel on October. 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people and abducting 251 others.
They still hold 50 hostages, including around 20 believed to be alive. Most of the others have been released in ceasefires or other deals.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Its count doesn’t distinguish between militants and civilians.
The ministry operates under the Hamas government. The U.N. and other international organizations see it as the most reliable source of data on casualties.
