UK hospital workers protest outside No 10 against deaths of medics in Gaza

Clinicians hold placards of nearly 200 colleagues killed in Israeli bombardment and call on Rishi Sunak to push for urgent ceasefire

British healthcare workers in uniform protested outside Downing Street on Friday to commemorate almost 200 clinicians killed in Gaza since Israel's bombardment began. The vigil was organised to call on Rishi Sunak to push for an urgent ceasefire.

Many of the hospital workers taking part carried one of 189 different placards bearing the name of a healthcare worker killed in Gaza in the past month. Organisers said that in the time it took for the names to be printed, several more would have died.
