HUNDREDS gathered in Glasgow for a pro-Palestine demonstration as part of a number of rallies throughout the country.
Demos took place in Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness as the border crossing between Egypt and Gaza was opened to let desperately needed aid flow to Palestinians.
Egypt’s state-owned Al-Qahera news, which is close to security agencies, said just 20 trucks had crossed into Gaza on Saturday, out of more than 200 trucks carrying roughly 3,000 tons of aid that have been positioned near the crossing for days. “We need many, many, many more trucks and a continual flow of aid,” she said, adding that some 400 trucks were entering Gaza daily before the war.Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, speaking at an international peace summit in Cairo, warned the Israel-Hamas dispute must not tigger wider instability in the region.
