PRO-PALESTINE campaigners gathered for a rally in Edinburgh today organised by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
A number of demonstrations were held across Scotland while in London, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn spoke to pro-Palestine protesters during a march.
The National has today launched a fundraiser with Medical Aid for Palestinians and has so far raised well over £15,000 and you can donate by clicking on the banner below.
The latest protests fall after International Women's Day, with organisers calling on demonstrators to "stand in solidarity with Palestinian women".
Protesters could be seen holding signs such as: "Gaza is a war on women" and "Israel kills two mothers every hour".
More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed since October while more than 70,000 have been injured.
Medical Aid for Palestinians is one of the only organisations providing aid on the ground in Gaza right now.
Everything you donate will go straight to this crucial organisation’s work and your money can help to save lives.
The campaign has been endorsed by every Scottish political leader.
This includes Humza Yousaf, Douglas Ross, Anas Sarwar, Patrick Harvie and Lorna Slater, Alex Cole-Hamilton and Alex Salmond.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
